Man in dark coat balancing with an umbrella on a brick rooftop ledge in black and white

Billy Kidd, Photographer, New York

About

Captured in black and white by photographer and director Billy Kidd, this striking portrait features a man walking in profile along the top of a weathered brick wall. He wears a dark, long overcoat and trousers, holding an open umbrella overhead while extending his arms slightly for balance. The composition emphasizes line and form against a light, overcast sky and distant rooftop structures. The high-contrast monochromatic grading highlights the textures of the brickwork and the fabric of the coat. The scene is shot from a low angle, adding a sense of height and daring to the moment.
