Washington D.C. Street Portraiture

This collection is a photographic document of the city of Washington, D.C. 
Diverse, walkable, urban, fast-paced–D.C. (and arguably any city) is best understood through its inhabitants. 

Between the time of seeing, confronting, and photographing the subject, the photographer attempts to distill and capture the essence of the subject. This is the challenge and the thrill of street portraiture. 

Individually, these photos seek to capture the essence of each person; collectively, they represent a tectonic image of the city. The project ultimately aimed to represent the essence of the city; capturing the life and temporarily of the area, the people are the place.
