Posted this over at rednoW and thought I’d share it here as well….

Raul Gutierrez is a Mexican-born photographer who grew up in east Texas and lives in New York City. His portfolio includes photos from all around the world. This shot, Confirmation Dress, comes from Mexico. Gutierrez’s work favors people in motion, caught up in their regular activities. As you look through his photos you quickly realize that “regular” is determined greatly by where you live.

Perhaps I’m reading too much into these photos, but it seems that Raul Gutierrez wants the viewer to capture a sense of his subject’s stories. The people in his images are surrounded by objects, scenery, atmosphere, and other people that hint at the context of their lives. These are not subjects to be studied or captured on film but stories to be told and admired.
