About Roberto Garcia

I'm a Chicago-based photojournalist focused on crime scenes, hidden histories, and overlooked places. My work blends investigative reporting with photography to document the traces crime and memory leave behind.

I approach each story like an open case file — gathering records, walking the ground, and photographing what remains. By combining images with context, I aim to create work that is both visually striking and rooted in fact.

Crime scenes and forgotten places don’t just fade. They shape communities, carry memory, and leave stories waiting to be told. Through investigative photography, I work to reveal what often goes unnoticed — the spaces and stories that exist just beyond the surface.

If you have a lead, collaboration idea, or story worth telling, I’d love to hear from you.
