Man and Dog in New York City Park Early Morning Light Impressionism
-
Description
From a high angle, we see early morning light skim across the surface of an outdoor basketball court, creating long, dramatic shadows and poetic patterns. In the center of the composition and in a highlighted area, a man interacts with his dog. Photographer Mitchell Funk celebrates the pure beauty of light as it interacts with form. Funk is not trying to make a social statement or a comment on one's culture or identity. He is simply capturing the beauty of a precious winter moment. Following in the footsteps of the Impressionist painters who invented the genre 135 years ago, Funk is creating Impressionist pictures with photography instead of paint on canvas.
The video is coming up light, use the still images as a reference for color and value.
