Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

About

This editorial photograph captured by Alessandro Simonetti in New York depicts a dynamic scene inside a crowded subway car. A young black man takes center stage, hanging energetically onto a vertical metal grab pole with a joyful expression and his tongue out, dressed in a black athletic jersey. Other passengers are seated and standing along the sides of the car, with overhead metal handrails curving through the composition. The lighting reflects the typical fluorescent glow of public transit interiors, creating an authentic and candid atmosphere.
