Midday Shadows - Limited Edition 5 of 25 Photograph

Shot on black and white negative film in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. This image was subsequently scanned to create a digital image. This open space between traditional style Arabic buildings offers no respite from the intense heat of the day in the Gulf so anyone using it scuttles from one patch of shade to another. As I framed the shot this man strode in from the right and I like how you can see that he is walking purposefully. The inclusion of a figure gives scale to the image and adds that all important element of life and movement. I was only there for a few hours but this man looks as if he is very familiar with the place, it is his local area, his everyday. He didn't look up, or around, this looked like a walk that he did every day, from home to work, or work to home - I like to capture that tiny element of his day. It was a normal thing for him, but without him my shot would not have worked.
