"In this exhibition, I want the viewers to be left with an appreciation for the strength of formal portraiture and get a glimpse of the character of these individuals." Stefan Ruiz, photographer based in Brooklyn Stefan Ruiz is based in Brooklyn, New York. He has taught art at San Quentin State Prison in California and was the creative director at COLORS magazine. His work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Vogue, and TIME. His photographs have been exhibited at International Center of Photography Museum in New York, the Photographers’ Gallery in London, Les Rencontres d’Arles, PHotoEspaña, Havana Biennial, and the CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto. He has published four monographs, including The Factory of Dreams, a book on Mexican soap operas published by Aperture in 2012, and Mexican Crime Photographs, published by GOST Books in 2016. “The iPhone is able to make my shoots feel less formal, which helps make the subjects feel comfortable,” Ruiz says. “When they’re able to pass the phone around to see and comment on the images, it makes the whole process feel more collaborative.”
