This photo is from a series by Stephanie Sinclair known as 'Child Brides'. Without looking into the story behind the photograph, the colors immediately caught my attention. From blood red to scarlet to light pink, it represents an allied relationship. The emerald green dress she wears is the perfect compliment to these shades of red. The intense contrast between the young bride, dressed in such eye catching colors, and the elder man, who looks as if he could fade into the wall if the red wasn't behind him, was something I immediately noticed. Besides the color relationships, the composition is something I am drawn to. Centered in the frame, the two subjects are very symmetrical. We can feel as if we are sitting directly in front of these two, and that brought me an uneasy feeling.
