Street Boogie

Serbian born, but brooklyn based photographer Boogie documents street life. From Sau Paulo, to Tokyo, and up to New York, Boogie travels into the worlds of drug addicts, prostitutes, gang members, skin heads, and the children all caught in these surroundings.

It's heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. His lens captures all the proper angles, lighting and subjects that make it a perfect shot, but at the same time you see the reality behind it and it is terrifying.
