Marrakech, 1991

Photo © Thierry Clech
Thierry: "This is one of my first photos, in 1991. I had just purchased a camera (a secondhand Nikon FM2 that I always use) and I was just beginning to understand how it works (aperture, speed, etc.).. I bought six or seven black and white films, to see what I could do during a week in Marrakech."

Thierry also says that he was incredibly lucky to get this shot as a beginner. Well, I think that even some great masters of photography will admit that there is often an amount of luck involved. In any case, it is the picture that counts. This is a great portrait, expressive and dynamic. The sharp-edged leaves of a plant to the left play an important part, I think. The composition is excellent.
