Marco Cervantes

Marco Cervantes is a University of Texas at San Antonio professor who performs hip-hop as Mexstep. His third album mixes styles with musical commentary against violence along the U.S.-Mexico border. The portraits open wide, with Cervantes on a stoop behind iron bars as the setting sun flares down the street. They close in on his face against a dark background and a cloudy sky, photographed for the San Antonio Express-News.
