The Impact of Stripes

Black and White photos, Photography

This is for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness. I was browsing my photograph archive and found this image, which I don’t recall posting it before and now am wondering why ever not. It is rather striking and captivates the attention immediately. I think the composition draws you in, with lines and shapes that create a sense of movement. I took it in an art museum a couple of years back, where the play of light and shadow was particularly mesmerizing. I used slightly different editing on the images, and while they appear to be the same at first glance, the subtle yet distinct differences reveal themselves, especially with the stripes under her feet that add movement.

One again, I am so bad at giving an image a title, still in the learning process 🙂

The composition features lines and shapes that convey movement, enhanced by the interplay of light and shadow. Although similar to the other image, subtle editing differences reveal distinct details, particularly the stripes under the woman’s feet and this one having a flat muted surface

  8. Love the image and even more so, your editing.

    (I just love B & W and you’ve used the contrast to display the final result/composition at it’s best).
