šø Five Images exploring "Place"
A monthly reflective photo series from co-host Joshua Jean-Marie...
Hey everyone! It feels great to be sharing images with you again. This year, Iām excited to challenge myself by introducing a new series called āFive Imagesā. Each month, Iāll be creating a fresh set of images portraying a particular theme.
This monthās theme is place, and when I think of place, I think of energy. Places can be calm or chaotic, and whatever image I create in that moment has the power to communicate energy through motion, lighting, etc. The images below were all photographed in Atlanta, Georgia with my iPhone while I was visiting the city for Misc. Goodsā first trade show of the year. Editing was done in Adobe Lightroom.
1: A photo I likeā¦
There are several things I like about this photo. The bold lines in the street. The bright lights reflected on the womanās face. I love how one foot is pointed straight ahead while the other graces the edge of the crosswalk. This photo represents the shared eagerness to hurry home or away to dinner reservations after a long day at the convention center.
2: A photo I donāt likeā¦
This image is a little too stagnant. However, it does perfectly represent how some days at the trade show feltāsteadily slow. Sure there are a handful of leading lines and shadows to play with, but it doesnāt spark much energy or inspiration.
3: Three other photos that workā¦
This image was captured on a late night stroll after an outstanding Thai dinner with my boss and good friend Tyler. The stop sign matching up perfectly with the car was too good to pass up. I snapped a few different angles of this scene and this one turned out to be my favorite.
Good lighting is always something I keep an eye out for. I appreciate the way the sun trickles down in this image and the boldness of the red and green traffic lights.
Ah, this is a good one. Itās clean and simple, full of shapes and dimensions. I donāt usually photograph too many images like this, but thereās just something about that early morning natural light. If youāve never been to PERC Coffee, youāre missing out.
