Straight out the hood

2026 Annual Competition

Straight out the hood

Brice GelotFrance

COMMENDED

Documentary

Entry type: Series
Series: 10 photographs

This story documents daily life within Sureños 13 gang culture and cartel influence in Tepito, one of Mexico City’s most marginalized neighborhoods. Through immersive photography, the series captures moments of survival, loyalty, faith, and resilience among individuals connected to local criminal networks. Rather than sensationalizing violence, the work humanizes its subjects, revealing the complexity of a community shaped by danger, tradition, identity, and strong social bonds.
