EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Zohra Bensemra, we are transported to the vibrant Medina in Dakar, Senegal. The image showcases a close-up of a woman getting her hair intricately plaited, highlighting the rich cultural traditions and beauty practices of the region. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Senegalese culture through its focus on traditional hairstyles and adornments. The woman's hands skillfully weave each strand with precision, showcasing their expertise in this art form. Her face remains unrecognizable, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship without distraction. The composition is strikingly creative as it juxtaposes elements such as jewelry and an old car in the background against the backdrop of bustling people going about their day. This combination adds depth and character to the image while also providing a glimpse into daily life within this vibrant community. Bensemra's use of depth of field creates an interesting visual effect by keeping some elements out of focus while emphasizing others. This technique draws our attention to both the intricate details of the hairstyle being created and the lively atmosphere surrounding it. Overall, this powerful photograph not only celebrates individual creativity but also offers insight into Senegal's unique cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in even everyday moments when we take time to appreciate them fully.
