Rodriguez chose to document "Spanish Harlem", a place that he was familiar with. These photos probably could only be captured due to his connection to this place, and the people. These are very intimate look on people and the lives they live. Rodriguez choses to get up close and personal with each of his subjects to capture what their lives are like.
Stacy kranitz, is a documentary photographer who focuses on people, and places. She did this series on the people of appalachia, and wanted to debunk the idea of the stereo type of "mountain people". I really enjoy the quirkiness of these photos, and yet they seem very familiar. These people have a sense of pride of who they are and where they are from. They seem very open and not trying to hide anything.
