Intent
Behind the frame
- What I was trying to do:
- I was drawn to the pillar dividing the scene into two separate worlds: the bright courtyard and the shaded interior. I wanted to capture that contrast and sense of separation. I think black and white works better here because it puts the emphasis on light, shadow and the texture of the stone, keeping attention on the divide and the people on either side.
- What worked:
- The man looking towards the woman while she looked directly at my camera was luck. But we create some of our own luck: I think I spent about ten minutes there taking multiple shots, giving myself a chance to catch that moment.
- What I'd do differently:
- I’d leave more room on the left to avoid cutting off the man’s arm. A split second earlier might have framed the woman in the background more neatly within the archway. I’d keep taking multiple frames and pay closer attention to those small changes.
