I found this couple talking on a bench in Cuenca’s central square. I noticed that the man was extremely animated, while the woman masked her emotions quite well. It was a promising opportunity to make an image rich in incongruous contrast, and that was how it turned out. After photographing them from a distance for several minutes, the man suddenly threw back his head and grabbed it with his hand. His mouth flew open as he completed the gesture. Meanwhile, the woman did not even look at him, staring resolutely into the distance. It was a wonderful contrast in emotional response, and I was fortunate to be able to catch such contrasting human values here.
