This week’s prompt for the inspiration category was “anonymous”. We were told to interpret this however we wanted. This is another photo I took when I was in Japan. I saw this man at the train station and thought he had a lot of character – he looked very mysterious in all black, a long coat, and a hat, almost like a detective from a movie. There was also some very bright and harsh lighting that created for interesting shadows. In order to bring out the man more I played around with the contrast and exposure. I ended up blurring the background and the edges of the man a bit as well as I think it makes him feel less solid, and more mysterious (or, “anonymous”).
