Photography has been a transformative mode of expression for artist Isa Brito. At 20 years old, she bought an SLR camera with the first money she saved shortly after moving to the United States. With the original ICP library and darkroom as her home base, Isa fully immersed herself in photographing the streets of New York and beyond - along the way she fell in love with the medium format. Isa’s black-and-white photographs have been featured in Folha de Sâo Paulo, Village Voice, City Limits, Barron's, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Musician Magazine, Interview, The Source, Vibe Magazine, Detail Magazine, Hadassah Magazine and others, and were shown in her 2012 solo show Passengers at Milk Gallery. From covering historical events as a photojournalist, to documenting her personal life and passion for exploring the world, that first SLR camera has always been there, a faithful tool to bring forth the human condition as she sees it.
