Skid Row to Broadway

Candid portraits from the sidewalks of Los Angeles and New York.

Smiling man under a Broadway street sign in downtown Los Angeles

Street photography by The Content Campus, shot on the streets of Los Angeles and New York, from Skid Row and Broadway in downtown LA to New York sidewalks.

These portraits meet people where they are: a laughing elder known as the mayor of Skid Row, sharp-dressed men in chains and shades, weathered faces in black and white, made with honesty and dignity toward the people in the frame.
