Beyond the cliché, Los Angeles is a tough town to photograph. The  
landmarks and the myths are top of mind but the reality is something  
else.

Photographer Tony Fouhse spent 8 days in Los Angeles looking behind  
the scenes, shooting 4×5 portraits of Angelenos, plain and simple.
He went to the usual spots: Hollywood, The Sunset Strip, Venice  
Beach. And he went places he was told he couldn’t: South Central,  
East L.A.

These 10 portraits show some of the people he met and photographed:  
Russian emigrés, gang bangers, runaways. . .
The face of Los Angeles you don’t see on Entertainment Tonight.

Merci,
