Martin Schoeller Photographs L.A.'s Homeless

Says the superstar lenser: “It’s important to bring their stories out, to give them more of an identity.”

MartinSchoellerHomelessThe latest project of New York-based photographer Martin Schoeller is, once again, endlessly fascinating. The German-born artist, who in the past has focused on everything from female bodybuilders to identical twins, has over the past six months made several trips out West to shoot in extreme close-up members of the very large Los Angeles homeless community. He’s been sharing the results on Instagram and now, in the December issue of Los Angeles magazine, nine of the photos are highlighted.

The project completes another busy year for Schoeller.
