Graffiti

Graffiti today is listed as many things; to the majority of the world graffiti is considered a crime. However, to a growing minority it is seen as an art form and an outlet to express one’s thoughts and feelings. Like an artist painting on canvas, a graffiti writer takes pride in their work. They feel that they have to paint, it agitates them and it becomes an addiction.

This photo essay follows one graffiti writer and his processes - how he chooses a spot, his paint, and how he deals with the positives and negatives of graffiti. The shots were taken to protect the graffiti writers identity. My role was to capture this graffiti writer's journey and tell his story.
