I tend to gravitate towards a black and white color palette. Black and white images, black and white clothing. I think there is something very emotive and chic about focusing on shadows and relying on the composition. This is why designers tend to design logos in black and white first because you can focus on composition and not get distracted with color.

The original image is actually really nice. The composition creates an interested split between the bright, open section and the darkness of the cluster of people. It creates a strong sense of airy (sky\/street) vs dense (people).

In my crop I wanted to focus in on the faces I actually found to be the most interesting, because when you close in on the man’s face, his facial features and expression are somewhat puzzling. is he angry? Confused? Annoyed by the kid? Then we get to the kid! That side eye is everything. Who’s he looking at?

There is a real narrative that comes forward when this image is cropped like this and you also get a much more constricted view of the man\/child. His back is literally up against a wall and in both but his face and the space in front of him is much more limited.

Entire stories can come from one image even when we aren’t 100% sure what we’re seeing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
