Bride and the Bike
Bride and the Bike. Amidst the frantic pace of one of London’s busiest tourist bridges, a moment of staged romance meets the raw reality of the street. This high-contrast shot juxtaposes the formal elegance of the bride and photographer with the chaotic, unexpected arrival of the cycle rickshaw, which instantly completed the narrative frame. It captures the layered contrasts of modern life in a historic setting.
