EN FOCO | About Us
Since 1974 we have been bringing photographers and their work into focus to an ever-increasing and knowledgeable audience.

We started out as a handful of New York Puerto Rican photographers, displaying our work at summer block parties in the South Bronx, neighborhood bodegas, and coffee houses in Greenwich Village.

Those early days were filled with excitement, hardly anyone was acquainted with Latino photographers, but we worked hard to establish our own visual identity. A few years later, we embraced photographers from all the cultures of color in the U.S.

Since then, we have witnessed artists of African, Asian, Latino and Native American heritage boldly moving forward, presenting themselves as authentic and valuable creators of American art. Today, En Foco celebrates the courage, talent and tenacity of the many artists it has helped become more visible, and looks forward to a new millennium of acceptance that will acknowledge the treasures of its communities.

Bienvenidos a todos. I hope you share your talents, ideas and spirit with us.
