Gary Copeland, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This portrait photograph by photographer Gary Copeland captures a blonde woman in Los Angeles looking directly into the circular mirror of a brightly coloured carnival prize wheel. The wheel features alternating segments in blue, green, yellow, red, and purple, marked with numbers such as 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20, surrounded by incandescent round lightbulbs. The woman wears a white patterned sweatshirt, and her reflection appears framed within the central mirror of the game apparatus. The composition employs a natural and editorial aesthetic with visible grain, emphasizing the interplay of light and colour within the amusement setting.
