Twee vrouwen in een park of op een renbaan in Frankrijk 1911

"Twee vrouwen in een park of op een renbaan in Frankrijk," was a photograph created by the Séeberger brothers. Look at how these women are placed in this setting, surrounded by trees and many other people, yet they are somehow isolated. The texture of the photograph is like a painting. The grayscale makes you focus on the details and the different patterns. The depth of field really emphasizes the dresses and the ridiculous hats! Note the line of the umbrella which divides the image, one is light, and one is in shadow. The way light and shadow play across the piece creates a contrast. This photograph is all about the details. The lace and the feathers on their hats; it’s all so intricate. The composition draws you in, and the more you look at it, the more it reveals. I am reminded of Eugène Atget, another French photographer who captured street scenes in Paris. It's like looking into another world.
