"Rhythms of Reflection" elegantly captures a moment of quiet introspection amid the bustling streets of London. This photograph is a testament to the spontaneous and revealing nature of street photography, inspired by the iconic Gary Winogrand, who mastered the art of capturing candid moments within urban landscapes. The subject, a woman with striking white hair, is depicted in a profile view, her serene expression juxtaposed against the lively backdrop of passersby, encapsulating a personal moment of calm amidst the city's chaos.

This image was taken in black and white to emphasise the contrast and texture, focusing on the subject’s detailed features and the surrounding urban environment. The choice of monochrome serves to draw the viewer's attention to the depth of her contemplation and the dynamic movement around her, creating a visually rich narrative that resonates with the vibrancy of London life.

The medium of black and white photography was selected for its ability to strip away the distractions of colour, allowing the emotional resonance of the moment to shine through. It highlights the timeless nature of human emotion and the universal experience of finding solitude in a crowded space.
