Figures Against Light
by Davide Terrile
The light dazzles the surface of the sea, transforming it into a silver sheet. Human figures move like shadows in this theater of sand and water, small presences on a boundary that does not separate, but unites. An ordinary day becomes a memory.
The aperture closed at f/11 and the very fast shutter speed (1/4000s) are chosen to control the blinding light on the sea, achieving great depth of field. This decision transforms the subjects into graphic silhouettes, abstracting the scene.
