Playing away

Street photography means capturing life as it happens. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women, merely players“, is a famous quote from William Shakespeare. As street photographer roaming the streets, I’m always on the lookout for those little scenes that tell a story and leave enough room for every viewer’s own interpretation of the captured moment. Walking through a little town on the island of Sardinia in Italy, I passed an open door of an otherwise empty bar, were the musician was playing away towards that open window. Indifferent of what was happening behind him. A truly precious moment.

Interior Geometry

Looking down into traditional Loire flat-bottomed boat interior, wooden planks and rope, Montjean-sur-Loire

A simple shift of perspective — looking straight down into the hull — turns weathered planks and coiled rope into an abstract composition. The parallel lines of the timber draw the eye inward, while the rope provides a counterpoint of curve and texture. Monochrome is the natural choice: there is no colour to distract from the pattern, and the tonal contrast between sun-bleached wood and shadow does all the work.
