Imagine the photographer capturing this fleeting moment, trying to freeze the movement of the figures. What do you think it was like to be them? Look at the way light and shadow play across the scene, defining the forms and creating depth, the photographer has focused on the human aspect, the interaction and exchange between individuals. The composition is carefully balanced, with the diagonal line of the ramp leading the eye towards the royal couple. The use of grayscale adds a timeless quality to the photograph, highlighting the textures and tones of the scene. Photography is an art form like painting.
