Matilda Rainy Day
Project Title
Matilda - Rainy Day - from series “In Between – Nature Meets the Street”
In Matilda Rainy Day, Jonathan Schulman explores the delicate tension between human comfort and the raw presence of nature within urban surroundings. Set on a quiet street lined with autumn trees, the scene captures a rainy day in transition — wet leaves scatter on the ground, branches shimmer with rain, and behind it all, Matilda stands as a soft figure of calm.
Behind
The Lens
Dressed in classic autumn attire, holding a dark umbrella, Matilda becomes a symbol of inner warmth and gentle elegance. The umbrella becomes more than a practical object — it is a visual metaphor for the ways we create comfort and intimacy amid the cold unpredictability of the outside world. Her dry space, framed by her calm expression and poised stance, contrasts beautifully with the wet textures and movement of the background.

Style
There is a quiet story here — a woman walking alone, seemingly untouched by the storm, fully present in her own quiet world. Jonathan’s composition highlights not separation, but balance: the graceful coexistence of human refinement and natural rhythm. Through Matilda, he captures that fleeting, universal moment of feeling safe in oneself while the world stirs around you.
