Description
There was something deeply symbolic about this scene as I found this cog, rusted stiff, separated from its Machine; component separated from its system.
It spoke of the loneliness and tragedy of disconnection of a part from its sum. What is a cog without the greater machine?
The high contrast nature of the shot and the directional lighting lent itself to a black and white finish with some dodging and burning to bring a focus to the teeth of the lonely cog.
