Steve McCurry’s 1983 image Dust Storm, Rajasthan taken in India has to be one of my favorite photographs because I like the juxtaposition effect and contradiction it presents. The entire photograph appears to have a sepia color, whilst the Indian women in the center seem to have a very saturated color on them. Moreover, the location of the shot looks isolated and dry because of the leafless tress, the empty water like containers in the foreground, and the dust in the background. In spite of that the women in the middle ground somehow depict life and existence, just by coming together and being there.
