Angola, Louisiana 23 - 1999

"Angola, Louisiana" is a 1999 photograph by Deborah Luster, capturing a man standing next to a horse in a field. The image is part of Luster's larger series, "A Louisiana Project," which documents the lives of people living in Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana, where the horse is likely a part of the work program. Luster's work often focuses on marginalized communities and uses the medium of photography to provide a voice to those often ignored. This particular photograph is a powerful example of her commitment to portraying the human experience with honesty and empathy.
