Scoot
Away One of those
ethereal images that I love, and taken completely on the fly of
course. Girl hoicking her scooter (which is a method of
transport I've never been able to come to terms with) down some
metro steps and getting swallowed up by those clinically white
tiled entrails of the city. I didn't crop at all here as I
couldn't find a way to do so which I liked better than the
original spontaneous result. It seems to work, with even the
paper on the ground filling in that big space on the bottom edge
of the photo - fine.
The treatment is intended to heighten the ghostly atmosphere in
the same way as grain does but when everything is very
light-coloured heavy grain or other forms of distortion can ruin
the weightlessness of the image so I avoided it here. It almost
looks painted, doesn't it? |
