Chromatic Streets

These images are part of a series called "Chromatic Streets."
Chromatic Streets explores the interplay of color, form, and life within urban landscapes. It is about the moments in time where color contrasts harmonize, creating tension yet balance within the frame. Strong lines, patterns and form become visual anchors. Using these color relationships, intentional framing, and often isolating signage, reflections, or small details that stand in stark opposition to their surroundings, these places are moments in time unique each in their own way. These elements work together to tell a story about the abstraction of the place, as well as the tangible moments within them.

Welcome, Digital Photograph, $300
This work is deeply influenced by Saul Leiter, whose use of reflections and layered compositions inspire my approach to color and framing. I am also inspired by William Eggleston and his mastery of vivid, everyday color. A final influence on this project has been the work of Bryan Peterson, and his principles of dynamic exposure and framing. Through the combination of these influences, I aim to transform fleeting, often overlooked urban scenes into moments of visual intrigue and character.
