Mathieu Young, Photographer, New York

Description

Captured by photographer Mathieu Young in New York, this image depicts two women releasing a glowing paper lantern into a dark twilight sky. The woman on the left gazes upward with a calm expression, her face softly illuminated by the warm, amber light emanating from within the paper sphere. She wears a dark jacket layered over a lighter collared shirt. Beside her, a second figure stands partially in silhouette, reaching up to guide the base of the floating lantern. The deep blue tones of the dusk sky contrast sharply with the internal glow of the lantern, creating a moody and intimate atmosphere. The composition emphasizes the upward movement of the light against the deepening evening.
