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.

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...
