Concrete Chronicles: INI LA

Los Angeles isn’t just the city I shoot—it’s the city I live through. Every block has its own rhythm, its own story, and I move through it with my eyes always open. For me, street photography doesn’t end when I put the camera down.

I believe that I’m always shooting. Even when my hands are empty, my mind is full—snapping mental photographs of moments that pass too fast to capture. The way light cuts across a cracked sidewalk, a stranger’s expression caught between steps, the color of the sky against a bus stop billboard—it all becomes a frame in my head.

This practice keeps me sharp. It trains my brain to recognize a good shot, whether I have my camera with me or not. And in a city like LA, with its chaos, beauty, and contradictions, there’s never a shortage of scenes to archive—mentally or physically.

Concrete Chronicles: INI LA is a reflection of how the city and I move together—me watching, LA performing without knowing it. These photos are my love letter to Los Angeles, told in fragments, shadows, and small truths.
