Balazs Gardi, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

Captured by photographer Balazs Gardi in Los Angeles, this street scene shows a person from behind wearing a glossy, bright orange hooded plastic poncho while seated on a motorcycle. Heavy rain streaks through the frame under nocturnal ambient lighting, reflecting brightly on wet urban pavement. In the background, the rear lights of a white car gleam on the left, while blurry figures and blue storage barrels stand near a market stall on the right. The shallow depth of field isolates the central figure against the wet, chaotic street environment.
