11:11 AM PDT on September 20, 2017

    [dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]wo of LA's finest, Sean Maung and Valerie J. Bower will be in at the NY Arts Book Fair this weekend showing work that includes the collaborative 'zine "UNCONDITIONAL" which seamlessly melds their unique styles into a single volume. All film, all black-and-white, UNCONDITIONAL celebrates and explores what is unique about Los Angeles. Maung's stark portraits compliment Bower's dreamlike captures of L.A. life and vice-versa, creating a mesh of styles, cultures, and people. The 60 original photographs in this edition tell a story of a city and of two photographers who know it, feel it, live it every day.

    You can find Unconditional at the NY Art Book Fair, and online at Valerie's online shop. Pleas enjoy a small sample of preview images below...
