Exposed DC

for the love of DC photography

In Frame: Best of 2016

By

HAPPY 2017, friends!

It’s been a wonderful year in image making. I’ve seen hundreds of extraordinary images on our Flickr page and our #exposeddc Instagram tag. Photography is my life and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

It was such a difficult task to select my 10 favorite In Frames of from 2016, but ultimately these images are the ones with which I really felt a special connection. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all enter into the 11th annual ExposedDC photography contest–enter your best work showcasing life in the metro area before January 11. And keep making pictures–I cannot wait to see what you create this year!

All my best,

Caroline

Blue, orange, blue, red, blue, blue, black & white. I am absolutely in love with playful image by Ellie Van Houtte. My eye jumps back and forth between the complementary orange and blue hues in a delightful Mondrian-esque scene. The man in the Prussian Blue coat appears to be entering another world in this fanciful frame.

“On my Monday walk home, I wanted to make art,” Ellie Van Houtte declares in her Instagram caption and that is what she did. Ellie looks down beyond the ground beneath her feet, finds a geometric scene, and uses people as graphic elements in the frame. Her artistic photograph is wonderfully composed—I love how the travelers at Union Station sit directly on the yellow lines even when they change angles. What a great eye.
