Congratulations to Kevin Steele, an APA LA 2021 Off the Clock Competition winner, for his black-and-white image of a woman and her dogs from the series “Life on Pause.” (See earlier post on the project.) “Life on Pause” is a personal project documenting life in quarantine in an unprecedented time. Shot through the front door, being safe, into the space of self-isolation, the project reveals life apart and together. “As a commercial location photographer my work is full of color and emotion. This brings me back to my roots documenting life. One camera, one prime lens, black and white. No assistants, simple,” Kevin says.

The image will also appear in color with text as part of an ad spread in Luerzer’s Archive coming out mid-July. See more updates and personal work at Kevin’s Instagram.
