Photographers are able to capture contrasts in modern society through keen observation and an open mind. Contrasts may include an old woman begging in front of a fashion boutique or a group of homeless people with happy friends in the background. Such contrasts can highlight the emotional differences between central and background images. While some contrasts happen by chance, talented photographers are able to accentuate contrasts and confirm their artistic value through skillful composition within a few seconds. This document presents examples of photographers' works that draw attention to contrasts in modern life.
