The message or emotion that I wanted to evoke with this photo is hope and life; as the color red is most commonly associated with passion, love, health, vigor, courage and joy.
Colors, forms, shapes and light formed a great photographic opportunity in this urban space. Taken in Athens, Greece.
Betty is a street and social documentary photographer currently based in Athens, Greece, founder/owner of CUT and DRY Blogzine, and a member of the Photographic Circle collective.
She holds a Business Administration and Marketing Degree.
Artist's Statement:
I strongly believe that street photography undoubtedly affects our capacity to empathize. My photographic vision focuses on capturing the soul, the spirit of a city and the everyday life as it evolves in urban and rural environments.
What I photograph is defined by what I believe in.
