Street Photography 3rd place winner

« Corridors of Light, metaphor of life » is a play, characterizing the life.
The shadows define the span of an act that tells about an event of life where the actor enters and exits the stage - as a relationship that starts and then ends. The shadows intend to emphasize the individuals, while the vertical frame portrays the scene of the act - an american big city like Chicago. The lifespan of a relationship has different lengths as the length of these light corridors. The negative spaces are representing as well the immuable past and the unknown and unpredictable future.
Step with me in the unknown (last picture).

Self Taught French photographer, I started photography late, around 25, in a French photo club where I learned a lot from tremendous artists, people who were still using black and white film - at a period where digital photography begun to be the only option for the millenials - and these friends of mine were so keen to share their craftsmanship for the dark room and the enlarger! My passion of black and white came from here for sure, it was so magical to see and understand how light can be manipulated with hands to dodge or burn to interpret your picture in an Photoshop predominant era.
