As for the picture below, "The angel guardian", selected by 121clicks.com to illustrate the interview, it was taken in 2008 in the Paris metro. I am not particularly fond of juxtapositions yet this picture seems to always generate quite some interest from viewers.
Wow – I discovered some really strong photographs by you on that interview page that I hadn't known before. Congratulations for the interview and being a "famous Street Photographer" … which is true!
I can actually fully understand why this picture fascinates people. The similar poses connect the two people, the "normal" guy below and the beauty from another world which is ironically commented by "-25%". Also the green frame and the red square make for a nice color balance. The fact that the green frame opens up toward above due to the curvature actually supports the meaning (heavenlike beauty world, a distorted viewpoint). Wonderful!
Hi Michael,
Thanks. Well, famous is obviously an exaggeration. Virtual fame at most, and still ;)
In case you did not get the full meaning of the ad, it says "One cannot dream of better" with -25% on beds …. thanks for describing the elements as you saw them, I had not thought about all of them. Cheers, Yanick
