Shooting Against the Sun
There’s a rule they teach early in photography classes, usually delivered with the confidence of someone who has never broken it: keep the sun at your back. The logic is clean. Light falls on your subject. Your subject is properly exposed. Everyone goes home happy. It’s the kind of advice that produces technically correct photographs — evenly lit, well-exposed, and almost entirely forgettable.
The image I made in Kraków’s Rynek Główny on a bright autumn afternoon broke that rule completely.
