We’ve been fans of the work of Arturo Vera for a while now. The California-based photographer has a rare gift for capturing the most surreal of elements in the everyday lives of his fellow residents, whether it’s at the local swimming pool or nearby on the dustiest of thoroughfares. It’s the kind of thing that can’t be taught – an eye that belongs to the inspired rather than the rabble. Be sure to take a look at his diverse portfolio.
