Price Gouging

A documentary editorial photograph captured mid-action on grainy 35mm film (ISO 1600) inside the crowded, humid confines of Manila's Obrero Public Market. A tense confrontation unfolds in a mid-shot frame as a stern government inspector, wearing a dark vest over a polo shirt and holding a clipboard, thrusts a paper "show-cause order" toward a distressed female vendor. The vendor, surrounded by piles of red onions and cuts of raw pork hanging from hooks, gestures defensively with begrimed hands, her face twisted in frustration and anxiety. Behind them, a uniformed Philippine National Police officer is partially visible, observing the scene amid a blur of marketgoers and stacked produce crates. Harsh, mixed artificial lighting creates deep shadows and lens flare, with noticeable motion blur capturing the urgency of the interaction. The background is densely packed and significantly out of focus, emphasizing the raw, chaotic atmosphere.
