I thought about an apt title for this image and I couldn't find one any better than 'Sydney'.
Sydney is not just a city, it is not just the Harbour Bridge or the Opera House or Bondi. It is the people that make a city and it is the strife, this perseverance of the people that make it a place to live. The man who takes it on himself to do his job of meticulously cleaning a dark alley away from the view of the flashy tourist, on an early Sunday morning is why people come to this alley way for the cafes and restaurants and make it alive. This is one of many who does his job, so that so many of us happy citizens continue to love this city, his city.
If only people in all parts of the world cared for work, and cared for their 'home' or their planet, every city would be equally beautiful.
My purpose was to draw attention to the man in the centre doing his job, and put the light on him so that he and his job shone beyond the darkness of the alley.
Photography is currently a passion for Rav, not a profession. His knowledge is completely self-taught but his experience is a result of shooting-and-learning alongside professional landscape and seascape photographers of a very accommodating photographers' group in Australia. He has been into serious photography and photo editing for about two years. He is a full time Business Intelligence Project Manager and an engineer, and thus, his approach to photography has grown from a technical angle, to an aesthetic sense of fine art.
Rav enjoys the combination of family, friends, photography and travelling. He carries his medium format Nikon D610 Digital Single Lens Reflex camera and his full camera gear with him when he travels. His photography has earned him awards in international competitions like Epson pano awards, Better Photography awards, Focus awards, etc.
