Manuel Rivera-Ortiz

Manuel Rivera-Ortiz’s work focuses on portraits of the disenfranchised and poor. According to his website, “His photographic stories of hardship and hope in some of the world’s poorest nations serve as a testament to the life he himself experienced growing up in backwater barrios in Guayama, Puerto Rico.” Some of his images can be seen at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film and Columbia University’s Joseph Pulitzer Graduate School of Journalism.
