Drebin's image captures Manhattan in a dramatically moody moment, with the Empire State Building serving as the commanding centerpiece of the composition. The sky is painted in dusky pink and purple tones, with brooding clouds creating an almost apocalyptic atmosphere above the city's skyline.
The photograph is taken from an elevated vantage point, looking north along what appears to be a Manhattan avenue. The urban landscape is densely packed with buildings of varying heights and architectural styles, from historic brick structures in the foreground to modern glass skyscrapers piercing the stormy sky.
What makes this image particularly striking is the stream of bright red balloons rising from the street level. These balloons create a powerful visual contrast against the urban environment, their organic, floating forms offering a whimsical counterpoint to the rigid geometry of the buildings. The balloons' vivid red color stands out dramatically against the muted tones of the cityscape.
The lighting in the image is masterfully captured, with the diffused sunlight through the cloudy sky creating a cinematic quality. The atmosphere suggests a moment of magical realism in the heart of New York City, where something unexpected and enchanting is occurring against the backdrop of urban life.
This is characteristic of Drebin's style, which often combines elements of fashion, film, and fine art photography to create images that feel both real and dreamlike simultaneously. The photograph manages to capture both the grandeur of New York City and a moment of surprising beauty within its streets.
David Drebin (*1970 Canada) has published several photography books including "Love and Other Stories" (2007), "The Morning After" (2010), and "Beautiful Disasters." Beyond photography, he has expanded into other artistic mediums including lightboxes, neon installations, and etched glass works.
His photographs often create a sense of mystery and intrigue, frequently capturing moments that feel like they're part of a larger narrative. His cityscapes and landscapes, like the Capri image you shared, typically feature dramatic lighting and composition that evoke an emotional response.
Drebin's work is collected worldwide and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and art fairs. He's also known for his commercial work with luxury brands and his editorial contributions to major magazines.

David Drebin
Love stories and landscapes are at the foundation of David Drebin's panoramas, portraits, and neon sculptures.
Drebin's monograph Love and Other Stories (2007) features solitary women in urban tableaux — high-rise apartments buildings and terraces, freeway overpasses and hotel rooms. Dressed alternately in bikinis, evening gowns, and negligees, the women appear to be in various stages of a love affair. They pout while lying on couches and ascend grand staircases; their legs emerge from doorways and car doors, their concealed upper bodies assumedly engaged in passionate embraces. Drebin's cityscapes present sweeping views of famous locales such as Jerusalem, Paris, and New York and incorporate both built and natural features. In “San Francisco Dusk” (2010), an illuminated grid of buildings reaches toward the misty blue horizon of the Pacific Ocean.
