Intent
Behind the frame
- What I was trying to do:
- I was drawn to the mystery of this fleeting moment. The person almost hidden behind the pillar, with the cloud of vape smoke completely obscuring his face. There’s something intriguing about seeing just enough of the figure to know someone is there, while their identity remains concealed. I felt that colour wouldn’t have added any emotion or purpose to the scene; instead, the monochrome treatment emphasises the mystery created by the strong contrast between light and shadow and all of the shades of grey in between.

I view this image a social documentary. The vape is dating the image to a period in time, in the same way people with tobacco stained fingers were from a certain period in time and rarely seen these days.
