Focal Point: Lost in the moment

  • Arabic

Architecture, geometry and photography can be a perfect combination. This image by staff photographer Pawan Singh, taken while out on assignment at the new Jaguar Land Rover showroom in Sharjah, really drives the point home. The solitary human figure in the bottom left of the frame, with a striped shirt on a striped wooden background, blends into the background almost lost in the architecture itself.
