Woman Waiting

This image encapsulates a clear story within the image, whilst showing that I am experimenting with different lighting and atmospheres. In this image of the woman in the street markets, it does not conform to the rule of thirds, thus making it unbalanced creating enigma elements portraying the narrative as if she is waiting for something or someone.

This narrative intrigues and engages the audience through the use of the formal elements. Advancing this the dark color temperature against the bright lights of the market, lights the woman creating a chiaroscuro manner, it outlines the woman almost into a silhouette. However, the light catches the woman’s face clearly conveying her the focal point of the image.

This adds alluring elements and provides more enigma qualities within the shot. Furthering this the dark blacks contrasts sharply against the warm colors of the food in the stalls and the eye-catching red shopping bag. Thus, creating dynamic elements within the unbalanced composition. As well as this, the gate in the foreground adds to the dynamic qualities as it provides repeating patterns across the image and adds different shapes adding more alluring and intriguing elements into the chaotic narrative.
