Matt Black, 1970, USA, is a socially engaged documentary photographer. He grew up in a small town in California’s Central Valley, an agricultural area that is home to some of the poorest communities in the US. In his Dust Stories he photographs the various communities, including indigenous Mexicans and the isolated Hmong population, who have come to Central Valley to work on large and rich farms or try to make a living on their own.
