About the Item

" Mannequins, yellow cabs and a big, shiny display window (combined) are one of the most quintessential scene of New York City. Shot in SoHo, I wanted the abstracted reflections of the crosswalks to overlap with the backgrounds behind the display window to mimic movement of the cab as it crosses this intersection. The mannequins help the viewers to subconsciously "empathize" with the scenes since they do represent us humans. The close-up helps the viewers to feel and be a witness of the scene as if they are right there. I produce these prints mostly in Acrylic to duplicate the relection of the window...again, so you feel you are right there. Lastly, stare at it long enough, you probably won't even notice that only the yellow cab has colors, but because we New Yorkers see them so often that they have become background and therefore, most likely not even stand out against the black & white of the rest of the image. " New York City based wildlife and street photographer Viet Chu, captured this remarkable shot of a corner NYC fashion store window, the reflecting light and stores opposite, as a taxi passes by. This everyday life scene from a city street was captured in an angular dimension to create a dreamlike image. Chu’s focus is to inspire us with its strength and grace. Viet Chu is an artist, technologist and world traveler and finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each in his photography. His work is a reflection of his journey and experiences. As a world traveler for photographic assignments, Viet Chu finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each in his photographs. His work is a reflection of his journey’s and experiences. In his approach to capture an image, he utilizes traditional and non-traditional means of lighting and infuse it with an intuitive sensibility, which is then converged with emotional intelligence to create a simple net composition of shadows and light, of subject and background, of space and inter-space, all with the goal of stopping a moment of time that tells a story for the rest of time.
