Title: Woman in doorway - somewhere in Japan
Post by: PeterAit on April 07, 2018, 01:28:12 pm

Going thru photos from some years ago, I found this gem (at least I think so) and here present it for comments.

I like this very much. Appropriately Japanese.

Clean, minimal and intriguing. I like it very much.

Reminds me of this one, somewhere in Hong Kong, even from some more years ago (50s), Fan Ho's iconic image:

It's a good image, Peter, nicely seen; and it would fit snugly in the semi-minimalist thread.

But the shot Slobodan posted - wow.

I agree. That'a stunning shot, Slobodan. There's a Cartier-Bresson somewhat like this. If I remember correctly, in his shot instead of a woman it's a kid at the apex of the dramatic lines.

Yes, Slobodan is pretty good too. 
Excellent catch.

Fan Ho added that shadow in the dark room, per his Wiki entry.

Here, here. Fan Ho, the man whose images blew me away when I first discovered them. And that is one of them. I guess he realized the shadows would give the image an extra dimension.
