Boogie is a photographer based in Brooklyn, whose "Gangs" project was nominated for the Santa Fe Prize for Photography. Says Boogie: " My inspiration came from living in Brooklyn and seeing the deterioration of neighborhoods I was walking through. Over the years I gained intimate access into lives of a number of individuals and groups who became the subjects of my study, but also personal friends. This work is devoted to them." And the photos are most impressive and amazingly intense.
