The boy with the accordion Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken in the street of San Cristabol de las Casas in Mexico. He is one of the street performers playing the accordion. On one hand, i was glad that he is able to play a musical instrument, but i also feel bad because that may be his life, playing the accordion for money.

I used the lens correction in PS to adjust the distortion created by a wide angle.

Hello Natasha,
A simple but very strong composition to show us this young boy, trying to get some money with his accordeon. Yes, it is impossible not to think about his difficult conditions of life.
The colours of your composition are awesome, this red is present not only on the wall, but also the accordeon and the basket are red. And of course, the little boy and the sidewalk create a huge contrast.
Well done!
Regards,
Marianne
