‘Every frame is a reminder that the soul of this city is bigger than any moment,’ says New Orleans–based street photographer Chris Johnson (@humble.4ever), whose practice is driven by the raw, unfiltered emotions that exist in simply being human. ‘I picked up a camera because I was seeking something profound beyond fleeting moments—I yearned to comprehend them. I capture what I capture because it’s authentic. It’s people, energy, struggle, joy—the kind of truth that can’t be artificially staged. To me, photography is about preserving the sensation of being alive in a moment that will never recur.’” | Milk Studios
