Noir 1

Noir 1

This photo is for FoCo Flickr's "Noir" assignment. Noir is a Film style from the 1940s & 1950s. It was mostly used for Hollywood Crime dramas. The style is usually in black and white and uses light and shadows for subjects.

In this photo I wanted to use great contrast between dark and light colors but not go all the way to the typical Noir black and white. This is my interpretation of Noir in the 21st century. Noir is also characterized by unpleasant situations and the moving of the legs represents leaving.
