Reader Photo: Lights of the city
On her first visit to LACMA, Shaneka Johnson captured this photo of the Urban Lights to show them from a unique perspective.
“You see tons of photos taken from inside the Urban Lights sculpture but hardly any from across the street,” she said. “With this one, I wanted to be different.”
What captivated her to make this image was not only the Urban Lights, but the life surrounding it.
“The surroundings didn’t overwhelm or distract from the subject for me, it gave it meaning.”
Johnson shot her photo using a Sony a7s with a 16-35mm lens.
