Duality

Duality is the frame built on two things in conversation — two faces, two figures, a statue and a passer-by, a poster and the person beneath it — echo or opposition held in a single composition. It is the thinking photographer's juxtaposition: not just two things near each other, but two things that rhyme.

The method: find one strong fixed element — a mannequin, a mural face, a statue, a shadow — and wait for its human counterpart to complete the pair.

Camera Settings

f/8 to hold both elements sharp. A fishing technique — set up on the fixed half and wait.
