"The image was shot in Chatswood, a suburb on the north shore of Sydney. This area is busy with construction as it is being redeveloped with apartment buildings. It allows for good street photography as it has a myriad of dark recessed shadows and is awash with bright afternoon light.

I was not looking for an image, just walking slowly from the train station when I noticed a small woman enveloped in the shadows of the tall buildings. The lady was wearing a very large hat and was in an animated conversion with herself. As she began to emerge from the shadows and passed in front of a massive worksite I noticed a geometric composition forming; layers of buildings and the smooth site wall combined with the organic form of the subject. As the woman passed into my frame the hard mid-afternoon light struck and she began to raise a hand to shield her eyes and it was at at this moment I exposed a single frame.

In addition, the use US1776 film & Watts lens added to the image, as the enhanced grain and film style tonality gave necessary grit to the image."
