Flock of Birds on Wire Against Dramatic Sky Dramatic Clouds
-
Description
After a 55-year career creating originally powerful images, Photographer Mitchell Funk outdoes himself. Flock of Birds on Wire was shot in the Windwood section of Miami. End-of-the-day, magical light illuminated the sky. Simultaneously, a huge flock of birds began socializing on wires near a power hub. The birds instinctively assembled in a very organized way, almost like musical notes on the scale, singing their avian songs. Funk's composition synthesizes rectilinear horizontal bands of birds merged with moody horizontal bands of clouds set in a late afternoon tropical sky. Each bird is an independent individual yet connected to a group that forms an abstract pattern. The exaggerated lighting and uncharacteristically assembly of birds makes this one of Mitchell Funk's most intriguing images. One can gaze at this magical image for hours and still discover new things. For example, on the center top row, a bird takes flight and center bottom a half moon peaks out from behind the clouds.
Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian.
Color may vary from monitor to monitor.
