Mark Laita started his career as a world-renowned professional photographer who’s clients include the likes of brands such as Apple, BMW, Coca-Cola, I.B.M, Budweiser and the list goes on and on… But he decided to give all that up for his new passion, which is essentially doing character studies on the most unfortunate human beings in America, and publishing the interviews on his YouTube channel “Soft White Underbelly”. Mark is doing some extremely powerful work, shining a light on one of the biggest problems in the United States, which is raising our children.
Mark Laita photo book released in 2009, takes you through a current look at today’s usual suspects and a few not-so-usual, all being quintessential beings of themselves. The images in the book are not only amusing and interesting, but some are quite challenging. At the heart of this collection of portraits is Mark’s desire to remind us that we were all equal until our environment, circumstances or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become.
Mark Laita’s future is in his hands, and he has kept a lot of his plans to himself. He has made it a dedicated effort to continue to help the people he showcased on his YouTube channel soft white underbelly. As YouTube continues to demonetize his content, he has done his best to provide the content that people want to see on his website, www.softwhiteunderbelly.com.
