Guiding Lines

A great scene from a metro station in Hamburg: a young couple walking down the stairs, wrapped in the natural light from above.

Image explained

The human eye always search for the brightest spot, in this particular image detecting the young couple. The escalators form the leading lines, which again lead to the young couple. The center line of the stairs also leads to the young people. There’s no way you can avoid looking at the subjects. This is what I mean when I say: “Bring your subject(s) in focus!”

Unfortunately only a  few people think of this when clicking the button. Just take a look at Instagram.

On the other hand, that’s what provides jobs for us professionals 😉
