About the Item

Street Photographer Mitchell Funk breaks with tradition and shoots street photography in color. Today in 2022 this does not seem like a big deal. But 53 years ago in 1969 it was quite a trailblazing effort. Color captures something that is missing in Black and White. It's a greater sense of realism. Funk serves as an early voice for tight design, bold color and carefully composed compositions instead of the more generally accepted "snapshot" street image. The fine art print is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. unframed Other sizes available. , printed later, Printed on Hahnemuhle fine art paper 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.
