Adorable and pretty cool she decided to read a book over other ways to entertain one's self.
Discussing the difficulties of using a phone for photography, he said, "I lean into them. I think I am more creative when I have constraints, so I try to work within the limitations of the phone." He also shared his technique for discreet photography, which has been impacted by the shift to wireless headphones.
The photographer looks for moments with amusement or tension. "My favorite photos have some tension or contrast that connects the central figures to someone or something around them," he stated, revealing his focus on narrative elements in his work.
Over the years, Stokely has incorporated more natural elements into his photography. Residing near Prospect Park, he has discovered that nature offers as many intriguing moments as the city. "It’s been fun trying to capture that," he reflected, indicating a broadening of his photographic perspective.
