Billy Kidd, Photographer, New York

Description

A monochrome medium shot captures a man standing on a rooftop ledge. He is holding an open umbrella above his head, facing the left of the frame. He is dressed in a long, dark coat, with dark pants and boots. The rooftop has a brick ledge and other industrial structures are visible in the background, including a chimney. The sky is overcast, suggesting either a cloudy day or perhaps rain. The photograph is shot in portrait orientation and the depth of field is shallow, which emphasizes the subject while softening the background.
