Photograph taken on an avenue in Buenos Aires. The image shows a person crossing alone at the exact moment when the sunset light creates a long, defined shadow extending forward. The scene was captured from an elevated point, allowing for a symmetrical view of the empty street in the foreground, with traffic and the city in the background.
Edited in black and white to highlight the contrast between light and shadow, the composition emphasizes the visual balance between the street lines, the human figure, and its projected shadow. The intention was to capture an everyday moment with a clean, minimalist aesthetic focused on urban geometry.
This photo is part of a series of black and white images taken around the Recoleta neighborhood, aiming to document spontaneous moments of urban life in Buenos Aires. The series seeks to show the relationship between people and public space through an observant, silent, and attentive perspective.
