Walking in LA (Series)
DESCRIPTION
In 1982, the song “Walking in LA” by the new wave band Missing Persons poked fun at Los Angeles for our dependence on cars, with the refrain — “Nobody walks in LA”. In 2023, we walk, we strut and we meander.
Los Angeles has a unique architecture all its own, some of it loved, some of it hated and some of it unnoticed. Usually it takes some walking, which I love to do, and almost it always takes some waiting for the right subject to walk by and add some life and scale to my images.
AUTHOR
Eric M Renard (www.ericrenardphotography.com) is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer and creative director. Eric’s passion for photography was ignited at Tufts University in Boston, where he studied under Siegfried Halus. After graduating, Eric moved to San Francisco and worked as an architectural photographer before moving to Los Angeles. Eric’s unique exposure to both urban and rural life can be seen throughout his work, as he is equally at home in both settings. Usually working in black and white, his urban cityscapes and rural landscapes often reflect an eerie sense of peace and quiet, rarely portraying more than one or two people. Eric’s photography has been exhibited in galleries across the United States and Europe, receiving numerous awards. His work has been published in both books and photography magazines. He is also on the board of directors for several non-profit art organizations, helping to organize and promote art exhibitions.
