About the Item

Street Photography: Literally. At a time when most color photographers were just pointing cameras and snapping images mostly during boring mid-day light, Mitchell Funk was innovating with the emotional and visual potential of dramatic light. "Golden Light on 1970s Road" is such an example, where an ordinary street scene is transformed into magical and almost surreal landscape. 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. This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, dated and numbered 3/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later.
