Angles of Atlanta introduces the photographic artistic expressions of diasporic photojournalist and street photographer, Desiree James. As a historic documentarian, she exposes an examination of her artistry, a picturesque pilgrimage throughout Atlanta.Desiree’s photography evokes emotions, pays homage to history, painting pictures of Atlanta’s past, capturing the pulse of the present, giving hope lighting the way forward to a better future. She celebrates triumphs with insight and wisdom she captures tragedies, and transitional periods of time. Her empathetic imagery is evocative, while revealing the struggles of humankind and the vulnerability of the most marginalized.Angles of Atlanta opens with an eastern view captured from the artist’s westerly position, the rising sun above Midtown. As the artist unfolds, you will also discover a compelling viewpoint from Atlanta’s Jackson Street Bridge. Desiree captured a prolific and frightening time in history, a day when life as we knew it ended, when the world came to an abrupt halt, when death was prevalent and uncertainty became the norm, when it seemed that time stood still, the pandemic..Through her lens she exposes a cornucopia of reflections, from artists to architecture, from sunrises to sunsets, a movie mogul to music venues, a former United States president, a current sitting Vice President, to politicians.Throughout the captured images of these pages you will meet the eclectic, soulful and gifted artist, whose vibe is beauty and whose essence is peace, Desiree James, Every picture captivates spectrums of her spirit and prisms of her soul.As you turn the pages, you will be mesmerized. Awestruck with wonder as her optics paint pictures that will leave you breathless. Angles of Atlanta is a transformative work of art.
