The photographic strategy of Drug Wars: Supply and Demand centers on stark, unvarnished imagery that captures the complex realities surrounding drug trafficking. Jonathan Alpeyrie explores the interplay between the production and consumption sides of the global drug trade, presenting a visual narrative that confronts both the social upheavals and human costs involved.
This collection focuses on contrasting environments and actors, tracing supply chains from rural cultivation areas to urban consumer markets. The photographs reveal a persistent tension between abundance and scarcity, authority and disorder, illustrating the multifaceted nature of the drug wars through a series of carefully composed, documentary-style images.
