“Street photography, to me, is not merely about capturing moments; it’s about telling stories. My approach is rooted in the belief that every image has the power to connect us, to evoke emotion, and to foster understanding. I strive to portray the richness of culture and heritage that defines my community, inviting viewers to engage with the essence of New Orleans in a meaningful way.” - gUS BENNETT.


About This Collection

In my street photography collection, I strive to capture the heartbeat of New Orleans—the stories, struggles, and spirit of its people. Each image is more than a moment frozen in time; it is a visual journey through the rich tapestry of human experiences that unfold in the vibrant streets of my hometown.

Through my lens, I aim to reveal the unspoken connections that bind us, showcasing the resilience and authenticity of the individuals I've encountered along the way. These images transform ordinary moments into powerful narratives, inviting viewers to look deeper and engage with the complexities of life for the residents of this extraordinary southern city.

I invite you to join me in recognizing the beauty of our shared humanity and the profound stories that shape our identities. My photography is not just art; it is a celebration of life, culture, and the indomitable spirit that defines us all.
