Madison Lloyd - People Everywhere Add Something
Madison Lloyd is a film photographer based in Austin, Texas. His most recent work, People Everywhere Add Something or P.E.A.S., captures the trip he took last winter through Arizona and Las Vegas. P.E.A.S. is characterized by the people, places, and things Lloyd came across during his trip. For Lloyd, it is these three things which directly affect his life and perception of humanity; each interaction he had along the way showed him the love and compassion people have and should have for one another. This much is clear after looking at the first photo of his series; there is a sense of connection and vulnerability that can be felt through the portrait of each welcoming stranger. Lloyd remarks on the vitality of recognizing “the beautiful connection that we have with each other, and how these connections are to the essence of life.” Now more than ever, appreciating our global, and collective impact on one another is essential, and Lloyd’s series reminds us to do just that.
