About the Item

The glorification of light was an early theme Mitchell Funk employed in his street photography. Funk breaks with tradition and shoots street photography in color. Today in 2022, this does not seem like a big deal. But 50 years ago in 1970, it was quite a trailblazing effort. Color captures something that is missing in Black and White. It's a greater sense of realism. Funk is an early voice for tight design, 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. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one of the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur" . 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color ! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum. He has had more than 50 Photography Magazine Covers and has had covers on Newsweek, Fortune, New York Magazine and Life Magazine among others

  • 'Towards your Heart' Large scale Photo. Triptych Ocean, Sea, Blue, Beach Cottage
    By Sophia Milligan
    Located in Penzance, GB
    'Towards Your Heart' Limited edition archival photographic triptych. Unframed, hand signed and numbered (Edition number 3 of 25) _________________ It is not the size Nor power from which you fly But towards your heart The wild Atlantic explodes in raw abandon, given scale in this daring dance by the graceful flight of the sea bird. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in chaos and harmony; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work in a balancing act of control and freedom; of discipline and guidance, whilst simultaneously relinquishing all authority and throwing the odds to the winds, to chance encounters and the unexpected'. Photographic triptych: each of three parts measuring 30 x 20 inches. Each printing is bespoke to order and can be printed on a single paper 30 x 60 inches.
