As a growing metropolitan area, Atlanta is now home to many architecturally unique buildings, which have been artfully captured by street photographer Branden May. He photographs these famed structures and the people who walk alongside them, and his work has been featured in exhibitions internationally. He recently sat down with the producer of City Lights on Atlanta’s local public radio station WABE, to talk about his work and how he approaches the art of photography. You can hear the interview and check out Branden’s work below.

The reach and impact of social media has only intensified in recent years and especially under the microscope of current events. Although these channels live in the digital space, they have found there way into the built environment and “architecture and the architecture professions aren’t immune from their influence.” “In the built world, social media has had an obvious impact. For instance, selfie walls have become common features of offices, cafés, and museums, but despite some of the obvious changes, architects and designers are using social media to help them work, gather feedback, and earn a living.”
