Slowing Down

Coffee Expert

I got a lovely tour of the Dormans factory in Nairobi with this man. We wandered slowly through all the different areas of the facility and then we stumbled upon this little corner where the light was just magical. I first photographed another worker in the space but only when I simplified the composition and took advantage of the white coat did the shot really sing for me. I loved the soft dappled nature of the light.

I could have spent more time there to really explore the compositional possibilities but for whatever reason rushed through it. Sometimes I think my fast approach works against me and this was a case in point. It's not to say that I'm disappointed in the image because I'm not. Sometimes I just need to slow down my vision to match my actions. Would another minute of exploration really made a difference to anyone other than me? I doubt it. But that opportunity is gone now.
