After culling the street images that I have been shooting for the last 2 weeks, I have found an interesting discovery in the way I shoot things. There is almost a consistency element hidden underneath the lack of motivation, inspiration, lost of direction. Yet when I observe closely and started putting things together I began to notice the repetitive appearance in most of the shots.

I used to hate working with shadows, as they are one of the hardest elements to balance well. Most of my images in the early days and my commercial work always landed up with shadow well recovered. Yet somehow, in my recent collection, I seems to have secretly embrace shadow. Of course not to mention the fact that I am working on a project related to shadow. I suspect this is the results of me diving deeper and constantly experimenting with it that I slowly grew with it.
I guess now I like the idea of how shadow throws an image into ambiguity. You see it but you don't. You formulate your opinion on what you are seeing by having your opinions on it. Somewhat reflecting the principles in life.
This short series was shot with a combination of Leica CL and Fujifilm GFX50s.
