Communal Isolation

I shot this in a subway car, focusing on the dramatic perspective that the lines of the seats and ceiling create, leading the eye all the way to the end door. The high-contrast black and white treatment emphasizes the deep shadows of the foreground passengers, framing the bright, illuminated aisle. This image perfectly captures the strange solitude of urban commuting—many people side-by-side, yet each person is lost in their own world. It's a striking and atmospheric view of city life.
