A look at the dynamic photographyscene in a city of images. Aperture's "Los Angeles" issue explores how one of America's most photographed cities is also an essential hub for some of today's most important photography and photo-based art. Part of an ongoing series of issues that profile the photographic culture of a particular city, "Los Angeles" features key figures in the city's photography community. Brand-new portfolios highlight Los Angeles's unique conceptual traditions and, in some cases, consider the city as a studio. Including contributions by Janna Ireland , Carter Mull , Torbjørn Rødland , Guadalupe Rosales , Catherine Opie , Paul Mpagi Sepuya , and Lise Sarfati , "Los Angeles" captures the city's historic and contemporary photographic vibrancy through enduring visual records of its landscape and communities.
