Goosebumps writing this but… 📣EAST LOS PRE-ORDER is LIVE NOW!📣 LINK IN BIO Another 4 yrs in deep. My 8th year in LA. 
16 times back n forth. This is everything i got. EAST LOS was made in close collaboration with renowned author Luis J. Rodriguez, former Los Angeles Poet Laureate and defining voice within the Chicanx community. At the heart of this book lies his poem “THE EASTSIDE OF ALL EASTSIDES.” 
A generous gift that became the foundation of my journey through East LA. Inspired by his words, I took long and short walks, had in-depth and short talks. To everyone involved in any shape or form; Thank you, from the deepest of my heart. It was not possible without your trust, time and belief. ❤️

PSA: Save on shipping and pick up your copy at the gallery in November 2026. Photography & Sequence @stigdeblock Design @vrintskolsteren Poetry @lrodrig555 Copy Editing Sam Butler, Editor in Chief @brickthemag Partners in crime @3rdwrld.la @1liasbou

Check her heart. Check her lungs. Echo her little brain. And our reality became a blur. My spirit left my body and I’m a spectator watching the scariest movie unfold in slow motion. On May 8th, 4hrs after my wife gave birth to our beautiful daughter Gia, we’re in the ICU watching over her strapped to cables and machines beeping. I never knew I could hold my breath for 7 days straight. My chest hurts, my eyes red. And you, while still healing, you @molelisa carry us all through the darkest patch of our life. I try to stand tall but your strength knows unknown heights. We cry. We dry each other’s tears. You dried mine way more. We are not home yet. But there is light. Right now, we need every finger crossed. ❤️GIA DE BLOCK❤️ 08.05.26 - 04:08 4,465kg - 52cm

Belgian photographer Stig de Block adopts an approach that brings him as close as possible to his subjects. With the Leica Q3 43, his vision is instinctive, precise, and uncompromising. ⁣ ⁣ Between Antwerp and Los Angeles, his work explores the concepts of identity, community, and urban culture.⁣ ⁣ "I often describe my practice as long walks because that is exactly what it is. I drive somewhere, start walking, and rarely have a shot list. I move by instinct. My work feels less like classical photography and more like graphic arrangements. Skewed horizons and slightly unsettling compositions result from navigating space intuitively. I use the camera in the same way, without overthinking and fully present. The image that appears is the one I intended in that moment. Whether it is good or bad is something I decide later."⁣ ⁣ Stig de Block will lead a workshop in Brussels on May 31, 2026, as part of the Brussels Street Photography Festival. More information in the link in our bio.⁣ ⁣ -⁣ ⁣ Le photographe belge Stig de Block développe une approche au plus près de ses sujets. Avec le Leica Q3 43, son regard est instinctif, précis et sans compromis. ⁣ ⁣ Entre Anvers et Los Angeles, son travail explore les notions d’identité, de communauté et de culture urbaine.⁣ ⁣ « Je compare souvent mon travail à de longues promenades, car c’est exactement ce dont il s’agit. Je me rends quelque part en voiture, je commence à marcher, et j’ai rarement une liste de clichés à prendre. Je me déplace à l’instinct. Mon travail s’apparente moins à de la photographie classique qu’à des arrangements graphiques. Les horizons inclinés et les compositions légèrement déstabilisantes résultent d’une exploration intuitive de l’espace. J’utilise l’appareil photo de la même manière, sans trop réfléchir et en étant pleinement présent. L’image qui apparaît est celle que j’avais en tête à ce moment-là. C’est plus tard que je décide si elle est bonne ou mauvaise. »⁣ ⁣ Stig de Block animera un workshop à Bruxelles le 31 mai 2026, dans le cadre du Brussels Street Photography Festival.
