19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
In the dark

We were photographing an abandoned building by the sea. Usually I prefer to potograph landscapes, but the location was inspiring to explore something else. I asked one of the photographers to pose for me as if he was a marginal person. I lit the scene with a single external speedlight flash. I then processed the photo to emphasize the dramatic mood of the scene and express the abandonment feeling of a homeless or drug addict. Obviously, the scene is a set-up, but I thing it would be inspiring.
