This photo shows a simple but distinctive door in Marrakech, Morocco. The door is made of brown wood and is a clear contrast to the facade around it. The facade is made of exposed bricks, which gives the structure a rough, earthy look. The bricks have a warm hue that suits the region's dry climate. The door is closed and without decoration, but it is precisely that austere appearance that makes the image powerful. You only see a small part of the street, so the focus is entirely on the door and the brick façade.
The photo was taken in natural daylight, which makes the texture of the wood and brickwork easily visible. There is no shadow play, but rather an even light that radiates tranquillity. The shapes are rectilinear and the colours are warm and natural. This image shows something of the daily street scene in Marrakesh and how traditional architecture is still an important part of the city.
This picture fits well within themes of architecture, urban landscape and Moroccan culture.
