"The photography of Matt Black lays down a portrait of two Americas, but it doesn't necessarily focus on the America you and I. . . know," says educator Tatiana Hopper in her video exploring the work of Matt Black.

He's a documentary photographer who goes after the stories that aren't really being told. Specifically, he makes tons of photographs around the working class and poverty-striken in America. But his stories are sometimes obfuscated by social media algorithms around trends or more sensationalized stories in the news. In the media, you can call his work a human interest story. But if this is the type of stuff that gets you depressed, you should be very well aware that the people in Matt's photos could be you one day. . thephoblographer.com
