Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This high-contrast monochrome photograph by Norman Jean Roy captures an urban alleyway scene. A large wheeled industrial fan sits prominently in the foreground, angled slightly toward a narrow brick corridor. Behind the fan, a powerful jet of water or mist creates a bright, blown-out vertical plume that contrasts sharply with the dark brick walls framing the composition. The lighting emphasizes harsh shadows and textured masonry surfaces, creating a dramatic documentary aesthetic.
