Gus Powell, Photographer, New York

Description

This candid street photograph captured in New York by Gus Powell presents a multi-layered urban scene on a cobblestone street. In the foreground, a construction worker wearing an orange hard hat, high-visibility vest, and blue jacket holds a stop sign while looking toward the camera. Further back on the left, a person in a dark winter coat walks away from the viewer up the steps of a building. In the midground, another individual is seen performing a yoga stretch on the steps outside black double doors beneath an Equinox sign. The natural daylight casts sharp shadows across the sidewalk and street, highlighting textures on the pavement and building facade.
