Market Life, Social Documentary Photography Project (Image #10)

Photography And Post Processing - Me.

 

I have just continued to capture peoples many facial expressions on the market (The Bullring Rag Market Next To The Bullring Building In Birmingham). The old lady looks quite tired and absorbed by life and physically drained. I wanted to capture the details and texture in the old lady's face. My main intention with this shot was to focus on the lightning and get a great black and white composition. I have turned something from quite dull to something interesting and intriguing. I recommend everybody to view this image/photograph in an large format when looking at the different sizes as you can see loads of people in the background who i managed to capture carrying on with their normal busy life's. This gives more to look at and you question what each individual is doing or how they feel.

 

This is the last photograph from the social documentary project, although I'm not that keen on the subject this is something i would like to pursue longer and keep it on - going. So hopefully later near the end of the year i will have a lot more stuff to show.
