Ben Pier, Photographer, New York

Description

A man rides a skateboard down a sunlit New York street while holding the leash of a white and brindle French bulldog running in front of him. The skater wears an open light-blue denim jacket over a black graphic t-shirt, light-coloured trousers, and high-top sneakers. The foreground captures the motion and dynamic interaction between the skater and his dog against the backdrop of an urban thoroughfare. In the background, vintage New York yellow cabs, delivery trucks, red brick buildings, street signs, and pedestrians populate the street scene. The image exhibits natural daylight with a warm, slightly desaturated analogue film aesthetic.
