Yoshida wanted to not focus so much on the person in the photos as in Western art portraits tend to been a symbol of status, or question about who the person was.

Eugene Richards for awhile was trying to get a close look to the drug scene. After trial and error he couldn't, and then he realized how powerful the drug world was. He teamed up with Life reporter Ed Barnes and they went to the Red Hook Housing project located in Brooklyn, New York where these photos were taken. Richards wasn't interested in catching the dealers and addicts just wanted to see what the life was like up-close and personal.
