A black-and-white street photograph capturing a crowded urban intersection at night. The scene is filled with cars and motorcycles moving in different directions, their headlights creating bright flares that illuminate the dark surroundings. The grainy character of Kentmere 400 film adds a raw, documentary feel to the moment, emphasizing the intensity of the evening rush hour.
An elevated pedestrian bridge rises on the right side of the frame, its staircase leading upward toward the overpass above. The bridge introduces a strong vertical element, contrasting with the horizontal motion of traffic below. A blurred motorcycle in the foreground suggests movement and speed, further enhancing the sense of a busy, living city.
The overpass dominates the upper portion, casting shadows and framing the background where more traffic lights shimmer in the distance. Layers of vehicles, structures, and faint city lights build depth throughout the composition, giving the image a sense of scale and urban complexity.
Shot with an Olympus OM-1 and Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 lens on Kentmere 400 film, the photograph blends classic film aesthetics with a dynamic night-time environment, portraying the energy and chaos of city life after dark.
