Gangsta Dating Story
After an unexpected meeting in 2011 and with the help of a friend, I was able to gain trust of a very close group of East coast american Gang called SSM (Sex, Money & Murda). During some weeks I could follow and document days and nights of some members of this very closed ethnocentric gang in Miami city & Suberbs. Gangsta culture used to be a harsh world which glorifies easy money, defiance against authorities and brutal unbridled flirting, very far away from the conformist codes of modern society that we know. Whether it was a youth unconsciousness or a reckless mistake, I jumped on this adventure at the time without hesitation and without really measuring the risk involved in undertaking such a delicate project.
Many years later and after a long and painful process of selection of the best images and for better storytelling, I have set up in this book an immersive twenty-four-hour narrative inspired by the Oscar-winning movie Training Day’s scenario, which begins during the day and ends the following night same as the masterpiece feature film. The body work has been published iby LOCO publisher in a limited edition.
