Justin Maxon, 1983, USA, is a documentary photographer who focuses on long-term projects that examine the complexities of human struggle. In his ongoing project
Streets is Raw he concentrates on the highly impoverished Tenderloin district in San Francisco where he photographs and documents the various issues, drug addiction, mental health issues and the threat of disease and death, that the people are facing in this region. His project
Children of Agent Orange focuses on the second and third generation of people in Vietnam that are affected by the Agent Orange poisoning. The chemicals sprayed by the US on Vietnam during the war have tremedous effects on young Vietnamese people today.
