EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Charles Platiau, we witness a powerful moment of celebration and hope. It captures the essence of a supporter of Francois Hollande, the Socialist Party candidate for the 2012 French presidential election, holding up a vibrant rose - the symbol of their political affiliation. The image was taken during a victory rally at Place de la Bastille in Paris on May 6th, 2012. As France had just cast its votes that day, it marked an important turning point in their political landscape. After seventeen long years without a Socialist president, Francois Hollande emerged victorious and became the nation's first leader from his party since then. The photograph beautifully portrays an unrecognizable protestor who stands elevated above others in the crowd. With detailed precision and creative use of depth of field techniques, Platiau focuses our attention on this individual's hand delicately cradling the blooming rose against a backdrop of fellow supporters. This image not only showcases patriotism but also evokes feelings of faith and unity among those gathered at this historic event. The silhouette-like composition adds to its allure as it highlights both individuality and collective strength. Overall, Charles Platiau skillfully captures this significant moment in French politics through his lens – encapsulating emotions such as joy, optimism, and determination within one frame.
