The blurb on the back of his recent book says Panamanian-born artist, Humberto Velez, ‘actively explores the possibilities of working with communities and individuals in different places and cultures worldwide.’

And Humberto has commissioned me to document some of those collaborations. I’ve photographed body builders in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; amateur boxers at Tate Modern; native Canadians and traceurs in Toronto and Mancunian teenagers in Longsight. Fascinating.

See Humberto’s website for more detail.
