Exercise 19: A single figure small


This exercise looks at small figures in an image.  I had to look at finding a place that was pretty much free of people but with an occasional figure present.

This exercise was not easy to plan for and it was by chance I stumbled across this scene.  The man is not obvious at first, you have to look for him.  The lower part of his body almost blends in to the dark part of the building.  The viewer's eye is preoccupied with the tall buildings.  I feel that this adds interest to the image.  The scale of the buildings are much larger than the man which further adds intrigue. 

The man is positioned slightly off centre and to the bottom right of the frame which makes for a more dynamic composition. 






I find that this composition allows size to become an important factor in the photograph.  In relation to action we can see the man is looking at his phone and smoking a cigarette.
