California based photographer Katy Grannan has made a name for herself with her rather beautiful portraiture.

In her most recent show, “Boulevard”, Grannan spent the last three years roaming the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. All of her portraits depict strangers but her knack for composition and sharp eye depict the subjects as at once hyper human to the extent of looking surreal and intimately familiar.

The cast of characters she unearths take the viewer on a trip through time, style and culture, ultimately delivering an eerie, unexpected look at people most of us would just pass by.

“Boulevard”  has just closed unfortunately at the Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco.
