Seeing his series Before we land, I want to go down to the river and shoot photos of people hanging out on the rocks on Belle Isle in Richmond.
These photos are clearly well composed, have a great juxtaposition and are technically flawless but the main reason why I am drawn to these photos is the feeling I get from them. The closeness to nature, I can imagine the feel of the rocks on their skins, the sound of the water and the smell of the fresh, green leaves.
This series captures such an interesting moment of these young people. It might be after school or on a weekend day and you as a viewer don't want this moment to stop. But also from a long term perspective, you don't want these people in the photographs to grow up and eventually split paths and don't hang out on these rocks anymore.
It is very interesting how simple these photos are and yet they express such beautiful emotions.
