Viet Chu
The Long Night - NYC Skyline Photography, 30"x40", Signed Limited Edition of 10

2020

About the Item

" I took this picture when New York was the epicenter of the Covid pandemic in the U.S., to reflect the idea that the nights are always darkest before they turn bright. As it turned out, I was a night or 2 away from NYC having the highest death tolls in the U.S. It was raining, and the street was empty and the lights were perfect, but I still needed a human element to tell the right story. We New Yorkers were told to stay inside, but as a photographer I felt a draw to tell a visual story. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this person slowly walked up to the light and started to walk across. What made it perfect was the fact that he/she was pulling a bag while holding an umbrella. I knew I had my shot at that moment. When I posted this image on instagram, I made sure to thank all the brave men and women in the front line of the pandemic. We are grateful...🙏 " Viet Chu is a world traveler for photographic assignments. He finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each with his unique photographic style.
