“For a Higher Truth: A Photographic Tale of Falun Dafa’s Principled Resistance” - Part 3

This photograph is very active and full of energy. A young Falun Gong practitioner is holding a large yellow cloth while people sign it to express their support for Falun Gong.

A young man is signing the cloth against the gentle breeze, giving the photograph dynamics. A young woman is taking a photograph of another part of the cloth. Obviously she saw meaningful messages on it. Her action adds another story and another dimension to the photograph. It also gives the photograph a romantic feeling and a sense of rhythm. The people in the yellow shirts in the background were explaining to two passersby the truth about Falun Gong.

The colour combination is beautiful and natural. The yellow cloth was accentuated, bringing the audience’s attention to the theme of the event. The composition is clean and gives just enough clues to let the audience that the story took place in front of Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
