Created Equal – Stunning People Photography by Mark Laita

We are living in a world of seemingly constant conflict and clashing between social classes, religions, nations and political leaders.

To remind us, that we are all human and created equal, photographer Mark Laita has released a book, aptly titled Created Equal. The images of people from different economic backgrounds, races, religions, and professions are placed side-by-side and involuntarily cause the viewer to  think about their likenesses.
