There’s something I really like about taking candid photos in black and white. To me, it makes the reality of the moment that much more striking.
This was the first sight that struck me as something that would look really spectacular in B&W. During Wicker Park Fest I walked by this young woman sitting in the street with her friend. I only took this one photo in passing as I didn’t want to startle her or allude to my presence as a photographer. I literally held up my camera and snapped the picture as I was moving.
I like the way her limbs are folded around each other and the way she’s holding her body. I think it creates really interesting dynamic energy and a sense of movement within the frame. I’m quite thrilled with the composition of the image.
