A simple, everyday scene set against the urban backdrop of an underground metro station. This photo highlights how everyday mundane takes on a deeper meaning, moving towards marvellous through the camera’s lens.
The minimal composition, its prominent lines not only generate depth but also provide a geometric structure in which the subject's movement from foreground to end point and into the light is framed.
I captured this photo in low light conditions with a slightly slow shutter speed allowing for a little motion blur in the escalators. The image was spot metered making a silhouette of the subject against the much brighter exterior light. The photo's bold contrasts enhancing the movement from darkness to light contribute to its symbolic narrative.
