I usually prefer to photograph in the early morning or late afternoon, in order to take advantage of warmer, less harsh light. However on this day, rather than shooting by myself, I found myself visiting a well-known Sunday market in the town of Tarabuco as part of a group tour. Due to local protests, the main road to Tarabuco was impassible. It took our group more than two hours to get there, and by that time, the light was no longer ideal for photography. I had to look for ways to make the difficult light work for me, instead of against me. I found a family of three selling fabrics at the entryway to the market’s food court. It was lunchtime and they were nibbling on snacks as they waited for customers. They are shaded from the sun by the entry way and by large awnings that cover part of the street in front of them. Instead of roaming the sun-drenched streets, I work here with ambient, reflected light to interpret the scene, an image rich in color and symbolizing the human values of family, food, and work.
