EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Andres Martinez Casares, we are transported to the scenic shores of Port-au-Prince in Haiti. The image showcases a young boy engrossed in his own world as he playfully wields a stick, surrounded by row boats anchored on the shore. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the scene - from the unrecognizable figures and their contrasting shadows against the vibrant backdrop of sky and water, to the creative use of reflection that adds depth and dimension to the composition. The sunlight illuminates both air and water, creating a mesmerizing interplay between light and shadow. As our gaze extends towards the horizon line, we are reminded of nature's beauty with its coastal landscape stretching out into infinity. The silhouette of the boy against this breathtaking backdrop evokes a sense of freedom and innocence. Martinez Casares skillfully employs depth-of-field techniques, blurring certain elements in order to draw attention to others. This technique further enhances our focus on both the boy's playful demeanor and his immediate surroundings. Overall, this photograph captures not only a fleeting moment but also encapsulates an entire narrative about childhood joys amidst natural splendor. It serves as a powerful reminder of how simple pleasures can be found even in challenging environments like Port-au-Prince.
