This photograph was taken by Saul Leiter, and it’s a street photo taken from the opposite side of a window. The main focal point is of the person who is one of the only non blurry part of the image, the other clear part being the writing on the window though even that is hard to make out as it is written backwards. Leiter used the rule of thirds in this picture, as the focal point of the image isn’t centered in the middle, instead it’s in the top third center part if you split the image into 9 boxes. There is sort of a natural frame around the person, as the condensation on the window has been wiped off and frames the person’s head for the shot. The dreary weather and the condensation on the window make the photograph rather depressing in my opinion and it also makes me long for like a warm cup of tea and a nap, it makes me cozy. I want to have a similar idea, but perhaps instead of condensation on the windows we could use a spray bottle and spray the water on the outside of the window then photograph the person on the inside of the window. This would both include reflections – from the water and window – and portraits in my final piece. I want the image to make people feel thoughtful (?) and reflective (?) kind of like the song from Mulan – Reflection, that’s what I want people to think of.
