About

From 1978 to 1985, Los Angeles-based photographic artist Grey Crawford created a series of hand-printed colour photographs using intricate masks and filters, pioneering a pre-digital aesthetic that was decades ahead of its time.

Chroma perfectly captures Los Angeles at a pivotal moment of transformation, as it shifted from the agricultural expanses of the 1960s to become the globalized urban centre it is today.
