EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Thilo Schmuelgen, we see a woman seeking respite from the scorching sun on a hot summer day in Cologne, Germany. Shielding herself with an umbrella, she cleverly utilizes its shadow to create a shield against the intense rays of sunlight. The woman remains unrecognizable, allowing viewers to project themselves into her position and empathize with her need for protection. The composition of the image is striking as it offers a unique view from above. From this vantage point, we can appreciate the depth of field and observe the bustling daily life happening on the pavement below. The vibrant colors and contrasting shadows add visual interest to the scene. This photograph beautifully captures one aspect of summer - finding creative ways to beat the heat. With copy space surrounding the image, it invites us to reflect on our own experiences during hot weather conditions and how we seek comfort amidst such challenging circumstances. Whether commuting or simply going about her day-to-day activities, this woman's choice to shield herself from extreme weather showcases both practicality and resourcefulness. It serves as a reminder that even in mundane moments like these, there is beauty in human adaptation and resilience. Thilo Schmuelgen's skillful photography allows us to pause and appreciate small yet significant aspects of daily life while reminding us of our shared experiences under different climates around the world.
