Colors of Italy / October 31, 2024 by Adrian Galli

There is no doubt I lean hard into black and white photography but some images just need color. Some of these photographs also have a black and white counterpart—I feel sometimes I can not choose which one I prefer. Perhaps that is also a good thing; that a photograph works both in black and white, and in color.

Italy: Pisa, Lucca, Orvieto, and Firenze.

Details of Italy / October 30, 2024 by Adrian Galli

I find the mundane details of places or the macro details of those same locations are equally interesting. The scene created from the reciprocity of city and nature, or the simple things that are so commonplace that people don’t even notice are the photographs that I prefer to create.

iPhone Photowalk 2024 — Photographic Styles + SOOC / October 28, 2024 by Adrian Galli

Traditionally, I’ve had my new iPhone photography up within a few days of receiving my device. My photo walks usually take me around the city, and September and October are particularly great for photography in Chicago. With some new and exciting photographer-centric features like Photographic Style and Camera Control, I wanted to take a bit more time to explore them. Since I had a trip to Italy coming up, it seemed like an obvious choice to share more than just the Chicago photos I captured in a few days. Enjoy a bit of Italy and Chicago in this annual series of iPhonography.

All Shot on iPhone 16 Pro, all SOOC (straight out of camera) using Photographic Styles and/or minor cropping/straightening.
