Lorenz Schmidl, Photographer, New York

Description

This photograph by Lorenz Schmidl captures a dynamic low-angle perspective of a carnival swing ride in motion against an expansive, partly cloudy sky. A single rider is visible suspended in one of the yellow chain-hung seats, angled outward as the ride spins. The warm color grading and visible grain lend an analog quality to the scene. Below, the silhouette of a traditional carousel structure and surrounding tree tops ground the frame. The composition uses the radiating lines of the swing chains to draw the eye upward into the sky.
