During a photo walk in Darmstadt focused on the theme "isolated subject," I captured this image in the bustling city center where many people wait for trams and buses. The photo centers on a young man absorbed in his phone, seemingly detached from the surrounding chaos. Reflections in the glass panels create layers, blending the busy background with the subject's focused demeanor.
Everything works perfectly in this image- the subject in focus, the blurred reflections surrounding him and his "lost in his own world" interaction with the cell phone. It's probably the quintessential image of this generation.
