Candid documentary street photograph of a

Candid documentary street photograph of a man walking briskly along a city pavement carrying a paper-wrapped bouquet of red and coral tulips with tiny yellow craspedia, the flowers lifted so they float directly in front of his face and hide it. He wears a crisp white short-sleeve shirt, a thin dark belt and wide flowing charcoal trousers, mid-stride with one leg kicking back, the fabric and the whole figure caught in soft motion blur while the deep maroon corrugated metal shutter behind him stays sharp. Shot from directly across the street with a 50mm lens at f/4, camera at chest height, profile side view, the photographer stationary and unnoticed as the subject passes. Flat bright overcast midday light, no harsh shadows, gentle daylight glow on the white paper wrapping. Shot on Kodak Gold 200, visible film grain, slight halation on the highlights, warm muted colours with a rich brown-red wall dominating the frame, blacks slightly lifted. Off-center composition with the figure low and to the right, large negative space of the ribbed shutter filling the upper frame, subtle vignette, faint chromatic aberration at the edges. 3:2.
