Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white photograph by Norman Jean Roy captures a dramatic scene in New York. A figure is suspended high in the air above a city street, held by cables connected to an overhead metal truss structure. The individual wears a dark, fitted outfit adorned with a flowing, net-like garment that billows outwards. Below, multi-story urban buildings line the street, partially obscured by rising smoke or haze near a delivery truck. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the dynamic silhouette against the bright, overcast sky.
