Elijah Solomon Hurwitz is an independent photographer based in the quiet canyon of Mount Washington, Los Angeles. Since finding a love for making pictures later in life, he has been drawn towards visually investigating underreported stories that might sharpen understanding of social and political realities as he wrestles with things himself. He attended Eddie Adams Workshop XXXI.
