About the Item

A monumental Fifth Avenue billboard depicting three nude models from the waist down and only wearing shoes soars above passing pedestrians. The scene is characterized by a deeply impressive image of legs. The monumental image of female fashion models contrasts with real people in this strikingly graphic grab shot. Street photographer Mitchell Funk composes the image formally and meticulously based on balance and simplicity. 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. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian.
