    That is an interesting picture. Raw, in it’s subject and in it’s treatment. In comparison to the previous picture, where subject and treatment are both more “aesthetic”. Is this intentional ?

    I wasn’t intentionally setting the pictures one after the other to make those difference stand out, but certainly I shot each image in a way that would emphasize the nature of each scene, one being all about the red and blond on black and the other being all about that face and that screwdriver in that unlikely setting.

    Thank you. So in a way, subject and setting dictates (or suggest and you listen in) the approach.
    More interesting in your answer is the fact that you choose the screwdriver as the starting point. Which is the heart of the matter, in this case. I tend to rather see the discarded ballasts and the light in the truck box and the woman all at once, and then the screwdriver as a somehow trivial element. Of course we know there is not one way over another. Therefore results vary, and we get diversity.
    And you get it done your way, and it makes me happy. How’s that ? :D
    Thank you Joe for your answer, it is always appreciated.
