Once in a great while, a photographer and their photographs break new ground and people sit right up and take notice. Zoe Strauss is such a photographer. The Philadelphia native who has brought us searing images of that city's marginalized people and places on the fringe of society, has taken her no holds barred, up close and personal style of photography to the roads less traveled across America. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss's photographs capture the beauty and struggle of everyday life and resonate as a social document of our time, and as sheer and powerful art.
Zoe Strauss picked up a camera on her 30th birthday, but in only eight years, has generated a huge body of work that has been exhibited in the Whitney Biennial, and has garnered her a United States Artists grant.

From the Back Cover
people and places on the fringe of society-has taken her no-holdsbarred, up-close-and-personal style of photography on the road across the underbelly of America. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss' photographs of the beauty and struggle of everyday life resonate as a social document of our time and as sheer and powerful art. Her images underscore an America that, more often than not, goes unseen. Zoe Strauss had never picked up a camera before her thirtieth birthday but in these recent years has generated a huge body of work that has been recognized and exhibited in the Whitney Biennial, as well as New York's Bruce Silverstein Gallery, and garnered her a United States Artists grant and a Gund Fellowship. Additionally, Ms. Strauss creates a yearly public exhibit called Under I-95, beneath Philadelphia's interstate, that has attracted a devoted following. This is the first monograph from an incredibly talented and prolific photographer.
