With Labor Day weekend coming up, a change of scenery might be closer than you think. We rounded up five getaways Angelenos recommend for their local shops, creative communities, good food, and access to nature. No plane ticket required.

Explore the Central Coast in San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, discover bookstores and beaches in Ojai and Ventura, grab a slice of apple pie in Julian, retreat to the mountains in Idyllwild, or take the train south to Oceanside and Encinitas.

Where do you go when you need a break from LA?

Meet Gabriela Salazar gaby , a 22-year-old photographer from East Hollywood. Gabriela is the third and final photographer we’re featuring in this project, created alongside Las Fotos Project to highlight the people, stories, and perspectives that make Los Angeles what it is.

We’re grateful to have collaborated with Las Fotos Projects to share the work and perspectives of these three young photographers who call LA home. Thank you to everyone who followed along and helped us celebrate the people who make our city what it is.

Manos de Mi Tierra.

My first image is called Manos de Mi Tierra. It’s a collage of my dad’s hands making Salvadoran tamales while my parents share stories about their childhood in El Salvador. During a time when many immigrant families are living with uncertainty, these simple moments like sharing a meal have become so sacred

Baile Azteca.

The second image is by Baile Azteca, where members of a danza Azteca group help each other adjust their regalia before honoring La Virgen de Guadalupe. Beyond the ceremony, this moment reveals the care that goes behind passing on tradition and becomes a collective practice of memory and healing.

Miren Cómo Florezco.

My final image, Miren Cómo Florezco, is inspired by Frida Kahlo’s quote, “Throw dirt on me and watch how I bloom.” It’s my undocumented best friend holding her graduation cap, representing years of perseverance and hope beyond this milestone. Her story reflects how our communities continue to grow, dream, and create futures despite the barriers we face.

From Northeast LA to East Hollywood, we’re proud to have shared the work and perspectives of three young photographers who call Los Angeles home.

Thank you to Aranza Trujillo, CJ Calica, and Gabriela Salazar for sharing their vision of LA with us, and to Las Fotos Project for partnering with us on this project.

This series is a celebration of the people, places, and perspectives that make our city what it is. Thank you for following along. ❤️

Meet CJ Calica, a 21-year-old photographer born and raised in Los Angeles. CJ is one of three photographers we’re featuring in this project, created alongside Las Fotos Project to highlight the people, stories, and perspectives that make Los Angeles what it is.

LA, Represent.

Dusty.

The first image is dusty. It represents the people whose work often goes unnoticed. So many immigrants build and maintain our city with their hands. Yet during the ICE raids, their livelihoods and sense of security were put at risk. I wanted to honor the quiet labor that holds communities together.

Samantha.

The second image is Samantha. My photography is often about memory and this image is filled with it. Family photos, books, flowers, keepsakes that are so personal to us remind us that a home is more than just a place. It’s an archive of life. The ICE raids threaten more than physical spaces. They disrupt memories, traditions, and the feeling of belonging.

Scarlet.

The last image is Scarlet. I took a photo of objects beside a bed because they tell someone’s story without showing who the person is. That’s what I hope people take away from these images. When we talk about immigration, we’re talking about real lives, real homes, and everyday moments that deserve to be protected.

Long after these big headlines fade. I want these spaces to remain as reminders of people who lived in them, loved in them, and fought to call them their home.

Meet Aranza Trujillo aranza trujillo , a 21-year-old photographer based in Northeast LA. She is one of the three photographers we are featuring in this project, created alongside Las Fotos Project

LA, Represent.

Del Otro Lado.

This image is essentially explaining that there are dreams and aspirations on the other side of the US border. Citizenship should not define whether one will be able to accomplish their dreams. We are all human, and we all deserve the right to obtain our dreams regardless of where we were born.

Cruzando.

Cruzando translates to crossing. This image symbolizes the journey many immigrants embark when migrating to a different country. Because my family immigrated from Mexico, the shoes used in this image are called huaraches, which are staple pieces of shoes used in Mexico.

Migration.

My last image connects migration with butterflies. Butterflies are free-spirited animals that are able to migrate anywhere in the world. These butterflies symbolize how humans should be able to migrate anywhere in the world and spread our wings to flourish in new environments.
