"The Leaning Man (द लीनिंग मैन)" by Edmund Sumner, ,

The Leaning Man (द लीनिंग मैन)
Is an image taken at the High Court Chandigarh India designed by Le Corbusier I have been photographing Corbusier projects for many years and despite my best efforts I could only get access by joining a tourist tour, consequently I relied on candid handheld imagery with a long lens. Almost immediately I found this liberating and was struck by this scene where the sun, shadow and architecture were in perfect alignment. I have long been a fan of the Hong Kong street photographer Fan Ho and who used strong shadow and solitary figures in a similar way, the title ‘the leaning man’ adds to the mystery and is also a reference to the infamous Falling man from the Twin Towers
