Best 100 Fearless Awards of 2023

This photo was taken after a wedding ceremony near Geneva. The bride and groom were covered in rose petals as they left the church. As is often the case, I wait for the in-between moments and continue to focus on the action. At this point, the best men and bridemaids began to clean up the rose petals on the floor, while the children, as is often the case, played at throwing and re-throwing the petals. I sensed that a scene with several layers was taking shape, so I continued to shoot until all the characters found themselves by chance in a legible and interesting configuration. In this photo, each group of people performs an interesting action, and I found the alignment of the brooms very interesting.
