The story behind the project
The Red Series is a photographic triptych pulled from my film archive, spanning three years of work. Each image captures a quiet moment shaped by memory, motion, and the color red. I wasn’t looking for red when I made these, but it kept showing up in ways that felt honest. Not loud or urgent, but softened and reflective. Faded paint, neon light, sun-warmed benches. These photos aren't about big events. They're about atmosphere. The pause. The things we overlook. With this series, I’m exploring how color and composition can turn everyday scenes into something that asks you to stop and feel. In a world that moves fast, The Red Series is my attempt to sit with what lingers.
Jake Inez
Jake Inez is a Los Angeles-based photographer known for his evocative film work that captures the stillness, warmth, and subtle tension of everyday life. With a background rooted in analog photography and a deep sensitivity to light and color, Jake’s work blends documentary realism with cinematic mood. His visual language is shaped by his Mexican and Filipino heritage, his lifelong love of skateboarding, and time spent traveling across the U.S. and Europe with a camera in hand. His photos are quiet but resonant, reflecting themes of memory, distance, and impermanence. Through both 1/1 works and carefully curated series, Jake invites collectors to slow down and take notice of what lingers in the in-between.
