The human eye scans images from left to right, picking out significant visual cues along the way before deciding what to focus on.
This photograph, taken about 2 years ago somewhere in the rice bowl of Central Luzon, will allow your eye to rest a bit, as it has been composed to keep most of the visual detail within 40% of the central image area. Feel free to take your time and browse through the detail of the farmers and their animals as they make the journey back home, at the end of just another ordinary day for them.
This never-before publicly displayed photograph was originally taken on black & white, and then digitally tinted to appear identical to hand-tinting techniques made famous by Bien S. Bautista, one of the 5 people whose visual influence is strongest on the kind of images i make.
