A new exhibition of work by the late @life photographer Gordon Parks offers a chance to reflect on some of Parks' most iconic imagery relating to civil rights. TIME asked Andre D. Wagner (@photodre), a contemporary artist and photographer based in Brooklyn, who made these pictures in the borough’s Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhoods between 2014 and 2016, to do discuss how Parks had influenced his own path and work. It started after a friend gave him an old beat-up library copy of Parks’ book, Voices in the Mirror: An Autobiography. "By the time I finished the book, the camera in my life started to make sense when I thought about it the way Parks did: I could use it ’as a weapon,'" @photodre writes. "The camera became more than a tool to make ends meet, and photography became more than just pretty pictures—it was a way to be defiant and to speak about society. It’s not lost on me that it was through his own humanity that Parks found his way. More than 20 years later, his words encouraged me to find my own." Through the legendary photographer’s work and life, he adds, "I started to understand my own strength and potential. And, maybe most importantly, I realized that if my photography were going to mean anything it would be on the basis of how intelligently it could engage with current times." In collaboration with the @gordonparksfoundation, the second half of the late photographer’s two-part exhibition—titled ‘I Am You: Part Two’—opened at the @jackshainman gallery in New York on Feb. 15. The exhibition focuses on some of Parks’ most iconic imagery relating to civil rights, from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Read more on TIME.com. Photographs by @photodre
