entry description
Everyone needs the occasional break, if it’s from work, family, or a just day of sightseeing like in the case of this tourist. Floating around aimlessly in the sun seems to do the trick. If this is because of the cool water swirling and splashing around you, or the calm back-and-forth rocking sensation I can’t tell you. But it’s as if one can briefly float up into the air and away from any worries. It may look like this particular tourist is floating on air, this is an effect of the infra-red film used to produce this work.This work is a part of my ‘Ode To The Tourist’ Project.
about the photographer
Edouard Schneiders is a Dutch street photographer. As a result of growing up internationally in six different countries, Edouard likes to travel. He picked up a DSLR camera for one of his first trips across Europe. Some friends were supposed to join but came up short on money, so he went alone. He got the camera to be able to share his experiences with others, and this is how he discovered street photography. A few years later this camera was stolen at gunpoint, during a trip through Thailand. This gave him the opportunity to purchase a new camera that is better suited for street photography, the Leica M.
