Intent
Behind the frame
- What I was trying to do:
- Captured on the pavement outside the Peter Jones store on King's Rd, Chelsea in the summer of 2026. There's a terrific visual relationship between the real woman and the enormous advertising figure: similar clothing, the oversized legs behind her, her expression towards me, and that pool of sunlight. A slightly strange coincidence of me spotting the light and shadow at the moment she walked across the space on the opposite side of the street.
- What worked:
- First time out with a Fujifilm X mount 90mm EVO from Viltrox allowed me to stand on the opposite side of the road. Something my usual 35mm doesn't. Shooting RAW saved the shot as I was able to slide the frame slightly to the left to put some space between her right foot and the edge of frame.
- What I'd do differently:
- Interestingly opinion amongst friends and family is split on this one, those who prefer the 1:1 monochrome as shot and those that prefer the full colour from the RAW file. I like both. The dark blue jeans sit well on the orange and yellow hoarding.
