Omar Cruz, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This vertical editorial photograph captured by Omar Cruz depicts a woman from behind, wearing an ornate patterned green and white long-sleeved dress, as she reaches back to hold the hand of the photographer extending into the frame from the left. They stand before the towering, symmetrical pink sandstone facade of an intricate multi-storied palace filled with hundreds of small shuttered windows and projecting balconies. The composition is shot from a low angle, emphasizing the immense scale of the historical architecture stretching up toward a warm, bright golden sky. The lighting is direct and even, highlighting the detailed carved stone textures and the rich red and beige hues of the building.
