Contributors JOSEPH LLANES - PHOTOGRAPHER Photographer Joseph Llanes was raised by his father and stepmother as one of eight children. Growing up in Mexico, Llanes turned stray dogs and abandoned homes into a child's dream playground. This ability to see beyond the surface of objects would carry into his later work as abandoned locations and the periphery surrounding them would become beautiful backdrops for classic portraiture. Llanes' work ultimately seems to revolve around themes of discovery, exploration and an existential desire to create correlation through the lens of a camera. Llanes graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Photography. As a student, he was awarded the prestigious APA Best of Show Award and the Fuji Scholarship. Since then, he has won awards for PDN and C.A. Joseph was the Communication Arts Fresh Photographer in the 2008 Design Annual. His work has been published in Rolling Stone, Spin, New York magazine and L.A. Weekly.
