Hard Times

Black And White Photography, iPhoneography, Joseph, Photography

This image was taken with an iPhone 17 Pro. Luckily this hard drive was replaced with a SSD (Solid State Drive) before it had the chance to fail. It was a very low capacity drive so I thought it might make for interesting subject matter once the cover was removed 😊

Flamenco

Capturing street photography in monochrome removes the distraction of color as a compositional element, allowing the viewer to focus on the raw interplay of light, gesture, and form. In black and white, the stories and faces of the street are distilled to their essence—human emotion, fleeting movement, and the subtle truths of everyday life.

Selfie

Window on the World, aka Selfie Heaven, Shenzhen, China, X100F

Window on the World, Shenzhen — a place purpose-built for the selfie generation, and completely sincere about it. The X100F held low, shooting upward into the light. Monochrome turns a chaotic colour scene into a study in backlit silhouettes: the phone screen glowing against the face, reflective surfaces multiplying the light. Sometimes the most honest photograph of a moment is the one where everyone is photographing themselves. See the full article: China — Shenzhen Day 3 on IJM Photography.
