Coty Tarr, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome image captured by Coty Tarr features a skateboarder mid-air, leaping dynamically near the entrance of a grand classical stone building. The composition utilizes a wide-angle perspective, emphasizing the massive scale of the architectural stone blocks and ornate lintels against the jumper. The subject wears a hooded sweatshirt and baggy trousers, holding a skateboard horizontally under one arm. The overall monochrome tone enhances the stark lighting and sharp contrast between the subject and the urban environment. Background elements reveal distant classic European-style multi-story buildings and street fixtures under an overcast sky.
