Flores studied at Empire State college, New York, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. As a freelance photographer specializing in documentary and social commentary photography, Flores' work has been published in several newspaper and magazine, such as the New York Times, the Village Voice, the New York Post, Arte Magazine, Arts and Artist and Belchite-South Bronx.Flores has also exhibited at the En Foco, Gallery, the Bronx Museum and Longwood Arts Project, Bronx, New York City; the Jamaica Art Center, Queens, New York; as well as a group show that traveled to the Soviet Union. He presently works with The Journal News. "Flores' work conveys a feeling that he is responding as an individual from within the community and is truly interested in his subjects. Absent here is a sense of coldness and voyeurism which so often characterizes 'street photography.' Charles Biasiny-Rivera, Curator Website: |
