On June 28, 2018, in Russia, in the city of Rostov, the central market was alive with the bustling atmosphere of summer abundance. The day was likely sunny, but inside the market, a soft, diffused light prevailed, which favorably highlighted the bright colors of fresh fruits. Shoppers could enjoy a rich selection of ripe berries, juicy peaches, fragrant apricots, sweet grapes, and other seasonal gifts of nature.
The foreground of the image features a young woman choosing fruits. Her gaze is focused on the variety of goods offered, and she holds a bag in her hand, ready for shopping. Next to her is a stall laden with containers of berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, as well as bunches of green and dark grapes, peaches, apricots, and pears.
The saleswoman, dressed in a bright yellow blouse, actively assists customers, reaching out to one of the trays. Her movements are full of energy and care for her clients. Behind the stalls, rows of other fruits and vegetables are visible, as well as wooden crates and scales, creating an authentic atmosphere of a traditional market.
The color palette of the shot is rich and diverse: from bright red berries and peaches to green bunches of grapes and golden apricots. Such an abundance of colors conveys a sense of freshness, health, and nature's generosity. This image is a true ode to summer, healthy eating, and the color of Russian markets, where everyone can find a treat to their liking.
