Milton Kirby is an Atlanta-based photographer known for his striking and emotive images that capture the beauty and complexity of the world around us. Born in North Carolina, Kirby's passion for photography began at a young age when he purchased his first camera, a Petri, from a newspaper ad.
Kirby snapped his first picture to share with the world as a junior in high school. Using the Petri, he captured many exciting moments of his high school sports teams for one of the local newspapers. His work is characterized by its bold use of color and light, and his ability to capture fleeting moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether photographing a bustling city street or a quiet rural landscape, Kirby has a unique ability to find beauty and meaning in every scene he captures.
Kirby believes that every picture tells a story. Of course, that story is subject to interpretation by the viewer. The viewer is free to interpret each story based on his/her background and experiences. Sometimes a caption along with the picture helps to shape the interpretation. Even so, there is no wrong interpretation – it is just personal.
