Alex Bartsch Captures Candid Gangster Shots from Around the World

I don't think people will ever get sick of seeing candid shots from seedier societies such as those in Alex Bartsch's photography. There's something equally heartbreaking and hardening about them, and the series appeals to both sides of our humanity.

Although Alex Bartsch is based in London, he travels extensively to document these gullies all over the world. See a small sample of his photography above.
