Beyond The Lens: Details

Photography has a special place in my heart, There is something about using a device like a camera to capture a particular slice of time that holds a moment along with an environment that encapsulates it. It can be a building in mid-day, your favorite food on your birthday, witnessing a wedding as you pass by to work, a funeral of a loved one, or even a protest fighting for human rights. I enjoy stolen moments of people as they live their daily lives in spaces that the ecosystem supports. Photography is a magnificent tool that has become a grand presentation of art as it inscribes humanness and the landscape it resides.

When you look at a photo, oftentimes there is a primary focus. A subject that is framed with supporting elements like light, composition, depth, texture, and contrast. But even in the grandeur of a subject, there are little things that create and cultivate a setting. it supports a moment where a story is being told and at times holds more validity than the subject itself. The little detail is the unspoken hero that provides the elixer to display a vision. When I think of details, I think about my brother Dontrius “Donnie“ Williams

Dontrius has been doing photography for over a decade with a main focus on film photography. He has spent a significant amount of time capturing moments in Fort Worth. from the vast to very intimate of events. If you ever have the opportunity to meet him he is always with his camera. It would be an anomalous day to not see him with a camera on hand.

His work is currently being presented at Zona 7 in a solo exhibition called “Details“. where he showcases some amazing photography taken in downtown Fort Worth’s Sundance Square. His work opens a lens to the beauty of Fort Worth culture and the community it serves. Some of his portraits on display are also taken in his studio.

I urge you to see his work at Zona 7 and take your time with each photo. You will be left in awe and graciously inspired. There were moments where when I looked at his work, I stopped breathing. His work is breathtaking!

You still have time. His work will be on display until February 29th

His work is available for sale along with his photography book. “Product. of the Block“
