Metro Atlanta has a thriving photography community, and throughout the course of the year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls upon a trusted group to photograph assignments. Some are former staffers and some have freelanced for the AJC for years. Their images reflect the news, people and events of the greater metro area and other regions in Georgia.
