About the Item
A tourist bus adorned with punchy hi-key graphics passes in front of a soaring Times Square billboard of similar nature. Street Photographer Mithcell Funk captures the precise moment in an exquisitely nuanced way. The juxtaposition of both bus and billboard seems to be one. Only on close inspection does the viewer notice that they are separate elements. The composition is punctuated with a foreground figure cloaked in a hot red sweater related to the overall color scheme.
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 normally found in studio photography is evident in his 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 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

Street Basketball with Angelic Light Burst in Gold
By Mitchell Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Light jumps out. Players jump up. Light bounces off a window. Basketball bounces off a backboard. The interplay of extreme light and shadow makes "Street Basketball with Angelic Light " a unique and pioneering photograph. Taking in 1974, it was a rejection of contemporary color photography at the time, which was not concerned with light. This image by Funk is a glorification of light. As light strikes form, it becomes stylized and almost abstract, creating a new relationship between subject and style. An indication of the date this was taken is revealed by the old fashion TV antennas...
