Pistol-Pumping Photography

John Battaglia Captures a Genuine Gotham City

— November 2, 2010 — Fashion
An observer, documenter, artist and more, John Battaglia captures the innards of urban cities so candidly and genuinely, that I understand why he doesn't feel comfortable labeling what it is that he does as simply photography.

Working predominantly (if not exclusively) in black and white, John Battaglia seems to live in a real-life Gotham city. These images are taken in places like Chicago and New York. See the featured gallery to get a glimpse of Battaglia's collection.
Trend Themes
1. Urban Photography - As capturing urban areas become more popular, businesses can focus on providing tools or services that enable photographers to easily capture and edit urban photos with ease.
2. Black and White Photography - Black and white photography has become increasingly popular as a way to convey nostalgia, timelessness and simplicity, creating new opportunities to create tools, services or products catering to black and white photography enthusiasts.
3. Authentic Documentation - The desire to capture genuine moments and places has become a top priority for documentation and storytelling, paving the way for new innovations in photojournalism tools and platforms that prioritize authentic documentation over staged or posed visuals.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment - Companies that design and create cameras, lenses, and accessories can capitalize on the growing popularity of urban and black and white photography by creating products that cater specifically to the unique needs of these types of photography.
2. Photo Editing Software - As black and white photography continues to grow, businesses that create photo editing software should take note and provide filters, presets, and other tools that enhance black and white photos, as well as a user interface that is optimized for ease and simplicity.
3. Media and Publishing - Given the popularity of curated publications like magazine and websites, media and publishing companies can take advantage of the trend towards authentic documentation by creating platforms or services that prioritize genuine moments and places over staged or produced visuals.
