Salar Haghighi, Before it Fades (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

Captured through the frame of a pedestrian bridge, this photograph reveals a fleeting moment of a boy running along the shoreline at dusk. The sea and fading orange sky set the backdrop, embodying the transient beauty of light, motion, and time. Shot on an iPhone, without equipment or preparation—just a passing moment, before it fades.
