Philip Lorca diCorcia has always been one of my favourite fine photographers. The strong narrative and the love for craftsmanship in his work are incredible, dealing with contemporary issues and the notion of daily life, whether it would be New York locals rushing home in his ‘Heads’ series or the LA rebellious male prostitutes who roamed the streets in his series ‘Hustlers’, which are being exhibited now at the David Zwirner.
His works are profoundly moving and relatable in so many aspects of life, they are also beautiful to look at with polarising dark humour. Philip Lorca diCorcia is back again to present one of his iconic series of photographs called ‘Hustlers’, depicting clueless and naïve male prostitutes in LA. The show runs until November 2, so if you’re in New York. Check it out! Brian Scott, 24 years old, San Marco, California, $25, 1990-1992. Hustlers marks the beginning of diCorcia’s engagement with street photography.
