La'Quan Saxton Photography — Things I See
La'Quan Saxton is a multidisciplinary artist from Chicago working across photography, film, graphic design and DJing. Things I See captures overlooked everyday moments, from a child's face to a warm embrace. It was entered in Playbook's 2025 Photo Competition, “Hidden in Plain Sight.”

Artist statement
Hidden in Plain Sight is about capturing the stories of those often overlooked and underrepresented. Whether it's the look on a child’s face, a parent raising their child, a warm embrace, the foundation of a building, or the pursuit of new opportunities—there are everyday moments we pass by without noticing, lost in the hustle and bustle of life. Through my lens, I invite you to pause, breathe, and see the beauty and depth in what’s been there all along. This is life, seen through my eyes.
