Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #235 'The Moment'
'The Moment'
In this photograph, apart from the moody night lighting, we have a story. This is what makes it quite unique. Let's assume that the main character is the guy on the left looking at the woman who is checking out the menu on the right side. After we've seen that, we notice a shadow of another guy on the very right. Probably!
The main character's intentions are unclear but he is showing interest. We are led to believe that he might want to know her better or maybe suggest a dinner. Why would we be inclined to believe so? Because the window with a waitress serving the food suggests it. All this is very subtle, subliminal, one needs to watch the clues closely in order to follow that thought.
I went for this cinematic treatment that proves to work well. It is clearly visible in the choice of colours for the night scene. Purple and green with a touch of yellow, dominate the outside, while the five windows bring in cosiness and the warmth of a pleasant place. The green plants suggest that, too. The windows bring the inside mood to the dark strangely lit street.
The grand value was brought by catching the very moment which carries the story. Notice the run-down wall. It appears to be somehow connecting the two people. Last but not least - this was not staged in any way. I found it, caught it. It's mine forever! :D
Enjoy! :)

I think this picture indicate different features that are going on at that the same time, that's life.
But behind that, there is a meaning or message delivered from the photographer to all of us who see a photo. Indirectly, we will send to us the photographs he created. I have a special intention to send a picture message, with all the elements in it. I give freedom to the photo connoisseurs to imagine themselves in accordance with their understanding of the photos that I make, maybe even someone will have some interpretation about the image.
"Well, here I am very agree with the revelation, here there is more to learn about the meaning of a photo. It is true to understand one person with another that is different, but it seems to me that many people have the same understanding of what messages are conveyed in the photograph, the meaning of the photographer, and the messages conveyed by the person who saw the photo. there are some things to note in understanding through photos, the first is the imagination.
By looking at photos, our freedom will imagine how the atmosphere in the photo. About the circumstances, feelings that come from people, and situations in the photo. To that end, a photo that survived the message well is a photo that can make people imagine. Then the second is Feel or feeling. A person's feelings will affect both the bad messages of a photo. Free photographers that allow you to create photos that have messages. But there are times when it can be used to deliver messages through photos.
The breaking is understanding. To communicate through photos, a strong understanding is required. Because reading one person with different people. The photos we make better are easy to understand by all circles, so the messages are well received. Then the last and proven is an idea. The core core idea of a message is contained in the photo. To translate through photos, first replace the idea of what message to convey. Surely a good idea will also affect the message of a photo. In fact, the bad idea in a photo message will be hard to understand by the person who saw the photo.
Lucky shot. I didn’t even notice the characters you spoke about until I started reading. My eyes were drawn to the light of the windows and what was happening with the gentleman ordering his dinner. I immediately took notice of the upstairs window and the rundown house and thought in odd for a restaurant to be there. Reading and learning of all that was happening or maybe happening in the darkness was fun.
I must say that I'm impressed by your luck of catching such an interesting moment :)
You interpret this scene in an interesting way that surprised me, for me - the whole scene, the color scheme, the heavily shadowed building and people and the antagonism between the inside and the outside radiates a spooky, menacing scene - the guy to the left is trying to merge with the shadows and with the wall behind him and looks at the girl with violence in his eyes, the other person coming from the right might be a collaborator of his - getting closer for the attack.
I can imagine the person coming from the right in better terms - he might be someone that noticed the situation and came to warn the girl, to take her inside to a safer and warmer place.
The contradiction between the merry and full of light atmosphere inside the restaurant and the dark, grim outside amplifies the effect for me - I get the feeling of "inside is happy and safe, outside - there is darkness and danger"
But it only makes you an optimist - seeing this scene in such a good light, and that's a great attribute to have :)
thanks for an interesting photo!
Beautiful capture.
Hola @velimir
Tú siempre captando la atención de las personas (al menos la mía) con esas tomas casuales y/o causales.
Parece que la luna se refleja por completo en la fachada de la casa.
En la habitación de la parte baja, exactamente en el medio de ella y con cierta profundida da la impresión de ver la silueta de una mujer arrecostada de un diván.
La pared destartalada simula délfines que van de derecha a izquierda en dirección hacía el hombre que contempla a la mujer que ve el mení.
Los colores zúl y verde quedan perfectos en la toma.
De verdad, muy buena fotografía y análisis.
Saludos y que la pases estupendo.
It's really amazing and wonderful photography @velimir. It's really fantastic and attractive.
There's a story, behind every picture, isn't obvious, considering that when we take pictureswe want to seize that particular moment, whether that be a family photo or just a situation that you find interesting and intriguing.
All over the world and every day and every minute there is a photo somewhere being taken and each and every one of those photos, like the moment it captures, has a story.
Thanks for sharing this unique photography with us.
I really like the way you explained the seem even if i didn't see them at first and had to take a second look at the picture after i read a certain line. The story so to call it 😄 actually had me imagining a movie or bigger sorry in just one picture.Really cool
Very nice picture. I can not be expressive. I can not be expressed in speech. I am inspired by you. It is also a story behind all the pictures. It is no exception to that.
