Foshan Pedestrians

A pedestrian crossing with only one pedestrian… Foshan, China, X100F

 

A near-empty pedestrian crossing in Foshan — the lone figure the X100F waited for. Street photography is often about subtraction: waiting until the scene simplifies itself. The crossing lines and the single pedestrian give the frame its geometry. Monochrome reinforces the emptiness of the space; colour would have been busy with road markings and signage.
