Flag Series

There is no doubt that flags waving in the breeze are majestic and are usually appealing. Some flags are graphically symbolic and others simply state a message or function as an advertisement. The graphically symbolic flags, usually representing a country, look majestic fluttering in the wind, but when frozen in time with the fast shutter of a camera, they take on a different look entirely.

I photographed several flags for this series. These two were shot nearly a year apart. The first series was taken January 29, 2025, and the bottom series were shot in January 19, 2024. There was a slight snow flurry in 2024 which resulted in a white cloud cover and soft lighting.
