The Court Yard photo series will make people appreciate the small details that surround everyone on a daily basis. Full of [abstract moments and bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color), the purpose of the photo series was to highlight an often forgotten space -- at least in Los Angeles, California. It specifically focuses on the [court yards of West Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendover).

Shot by photographer TJ Tambellini, he shares, “While the variance in these properties is visually pleasing, the sameness is overpowering.” It works well for a [coffee table book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour) -- which is exactly what the series have been turned into thanks to a partnership with London-based independent publisher, Kiosk. The book itself was designed by Kati Forner and will be sold as a limited edition publication, perfect for a book lover gift.
