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.

  • Sarakiniko No.3 Milos (Limited Edition of 25) - The Sea Photography
    By Christopher Petsos
    Located in New York, NY
    This image captured in 2017 by New York photographer Christopher Petsos features the Sarakiniko beach in Milos, Greece, one of the most beautiful “moonscape” beaches in the world. This beach is known for being the most photographed attraction in the Aegean Sea. Due to its picturesque beauty, it's become an Instagram darling. Christopher Petsos is a New York City based photographer and artist. He is known for capturing Light, pattern, texture, color and motion across the urban realm. Petsos believes that we see things through a filter of the self, a camera records the physical details of a scene, but our human eyes and sub-conscious self, are the interpreters that complete our view of reality. In his own words: “Throughout the process, I stay faithful to the underlying truth of the scene. My work inhabits the space between literal depiction and my emotional Impression of the moment. The result is hyper-reality: facts imbued with feeling.” In this image, Christopher Petsos stands true to his words and brilliantly captures the light, pattern, texture, color and motion across the urban realm and painted it in his own colors to give the viewer a new perspective. Limited Numbered Edition of this iconic print on fine art archival pigment paper and signed by Christopher Petsos are available in the sizes below. We ship world-wide and shipping is free.
