Streets by night

Made for black and white, this shot draws us in with its geometric shapes and leading lines. As with so many images of this kind, it would be greatly impoverished without the solitary figure walking away.

There's so much works here, that one almost assumes that it must have been set up, but it doesn't appear that was actually the case. The different figures, enacting different emotions, with the isolated man in the middle gazing off, all contribute to a compelling capture.

A simply fabulous, atmospheric and evocative capture that really fulfils the brief of capturing the streets by night. Selective colour isn't to everyone's taste but it genuinely works very well here, adding an extra frisson of interest to the scene.
