Opening: Thursday, April 5, 2012

The work I produce reflects my need for uncovering dark places and further feeds my desire to produce humanistic, palpable photography. I choose to work with photography on the deepest level possible to produce the best work that I can. I photograph things I feel and see, trying to give voice and meaning to the environment around me.

The foreclosure crisis has been widespread across America, in particular within the state of Florida where the recession has affected many families and forced many out of their homes. These images are a document of this ongoing crisis.

Mike Berube was raised in Toronto, where he is an established photographer. He initially gained recognition for his pictures in 2007 when he was commissioned to cover life in the slums in Kibera, Kenya. In 2008, the images would go on to receive recognition from world press photo. Mike’s distinct style of emotional, humanistic photography has  characterized his work since. Mike's photographs explore themes of human, social and economic conflict on local and international scales.
