This is the first I hear about Stolen and Manipulated Shot technique. (?) I am not sure what it means but I found it interesting to observe these shots, mostly for the people's expressions and their clothing are what intrigues me here. Red vs black headscarf on men... there must be a significance of the color choice here, no? I understand the symbolism of the last one, the green one with the black djellaba...and that girl in the pretty tailored red flowered burka among all the blackly clad women. Is individualism like that not frowned upon? So much info and so many questions in these shots! atszabo · 2011-12-02: 05:43
