What intrigued me to showcase Guillermo Gomez Pena was his expression of his beliefs through photographs. Immigration plays a large role in his work and it is seen in a lot of his work including New Barbarians, above. Pena seeks to inform people about real, relevant issues through his work to uncover controversial areas and applies them in controversial photographs. The main scope of his focus looks on the relations between the United States and Mexico.
