Man in Colorful African Theme Clothes Illuminated by Shaft of Light

About the Item

Rays of golden light burn through New York's streets and illuminate a man dressed in a vivid African-themed shirt with matching shorts. He dominates the composition that emphasizes the abstract more than the representational. Veteran Street Photographer Mitchell Fun takes this popular genre of photography to a highly distilled level of visualization that bears his unique style of hyper-color and light. Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed simultaneously? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting, and design to found subject matter. The compositional precision generally found in studio photography is evident in his street photography. This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later.

We each had our own seat on the trip Brooklyn to the Bronx The station has changed. In a google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap looking replacements. Robert Funk is a pioneer of toy photography, doll photography...
