A4 EYV – Submission to tutor

Introduction I have been working on this assignment for some time, allowing it to develop organically. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s the streets that inspire my photography.

Masters of Photography – Reul Golden

The light is soft and cool, creating a peaceful, subtle atmosphere. Although it’s not harsh, it hasn’t yet enveloped the world […]
