Photographer Spotlight: Sam Parkes

A portrait of Hispanic America through the eyes of photographer Sam Parkes (previously featured here). Weaving his way through the high plateaus of central Mexico to the Southern tip of Tierra Del Fuego, Parkes attempts to capture something of a people shaped by enduring indigenous beliefs and traditions while similarly and indelibly marked by a history of colonization, economics-driven migrations and the hardships of daily life. See more images from “Los Americanos” below.
