Camilo Cruz

Camilo Cruz holds an MFA in Photography from California State University at Long Beach. He has won numerous awards for his work, including First Place in the College Art Association’s MFA exhibition at the University of Southern California in 2009. His photography has been featured in galleries and museums throughout California, including the Irvine Fine Arts Center. His position as a Public Administrator at the L.A. County Courthouse affords him access to the people and environments that constitute our nation’s justice system. Since cameras are prohibited in the public spaces of the courthouse, he makes his photographs after normal working hours have ended, creating tableau “moments” from memory which speak to the law’s effects on those individuals both inside and outside the system.
