I looked up from the stairs in a certain place in the city center and took the picture.
The left and right walls have different colors and patterns, but I devised a way to guide the line of sight to the subject who went up the stairs and the buildings that can be seen through the gap by looking at the same black color by shooting in monochrome.

I'm a Japanese photographer and I mainly shoot street photography in black and white.
I prioritize the exploration and discovery of filming locations. When shooting street photos, look for shooting points with your own eyes and feet, and discover the places and moments to shoot based on your sensibility, awareness, and experience. When I took a picture there, I could feel the excitement and excitement that I would never encounter in a famous photo spot or a fixed place, and I am pursuing this every day.
