Désarroi - Distress Photo

Photographer’s Note

Photo prise à la gare de Lyon.
Cette dame venait de rater son train (TGV).

J'ai recadré cette photo pour accentuer la perspective des rails, le décor est en noir et blanc pour faire sortir le personnage central (à cause du contre-jour on voyait à peine sa silhouette).

Photo taken at the station of Lyon. This lady had just missed her train (TGV). I centred this photograph to accentuate the perspective of the rails, the decor is in black and white to focus the central character (because of the back-light one saw hardly his profile).

I travel a lot and I think you caught the feeling of too much travel and too much waiting well here.

The tracks form a strong diagonal that makes the composition strong. I like the background of industrial or postmodern buildings, typical train station surrounding. The repeated vents are a strong thing too.

Nice that you kept some colors, soft but enough to give the traveller an extra kick. All B&W would work too I think.

Great capture of a moment we all hate to have. The realization of error shows well. Nice composition too.

Bonjour Hoa,

Un bon point de vue de cette dame qui a manqué son train, elle a l'air désespéré. La photo est claire et précise. Elle a une bonne composition. Merci de partager.
