Some photographers said taking pictures is a waiting game. Waiting for the best light. Just like fishing.
I read a photography book. The author recorded all the details of each photo i.e. aperture, shutter speed, day/time of the picture and the waiting time for the light (from 15 minutes to 15 days!).
As amateur, we have no such luxury to wait for the best light until we will take the picture. We will just take what is offered when you are on site.

He doesn't call out. Doesn't move. Just waits—shirtless, motionless, braced against the stone as the angled sun slices across the wall. He Waited Where the Light Would Hit is a study in quiet resistance and subtle strength. You may not notice him at first. That’s the point. In a city of movement, he becomes architecture—an embodiment of solitude beneath a borrowed sky. The light doesn't search for him. It just finds him there.
Artist Process:
This image relies on stark geometry: the curve of the arch, the line of shadow, the hard block of urban stone intersecting natural light. The figure was positioned where light meets edge, where his silhouette would emerge gradually, like a slow exhale. I left the background unembellished so the eye has no choice but to move from void to presence. Shot (or rendered) in monochrome to emphasize contrast, texture, and isolation. The story lies not in what he does, but in how long he stands still.
