Documentary photographer
IsaReyes
Portland, OR
I make long assignments about landscape, labor, and the places people stay. The ethics of looking come before the frame.
Staff at Cascade Field Magazine taught me how to shoot other people's workplaces without treating them as scenery. Independent since 2019, I take multi-day assignments and keep a personal series on working waterfronts.
