This series of high contrast black and white analogue photographs captures the raw, unfiltered essence of downtown Los Angeles, a city where the past and present collide in a dynamic and often gritty landscape. The timeless architecture, with its towering facades and intricate details, stands in stark contrast to the everyday pulse of urban life that unfolds beneath it.
Through these images, I aim to highlight the juxtaposition between the monumental, sometimes stoic structures of the city and the fleeting, vibrant moments of human existence that happen on the streets below. The grit of downtown, with its diverse cultures, its constant motion, and its undercurrent of both beauty and struggle, becomes a character in itself.
The choice of black and white film amplifies the timelessness of this narrative, stripping away distraction
