Thom Gilbert, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photograph by Thom Gilbert captures a striking composition framed through a chain-link fence. In the foreground, two muscular arms reach up to grip the wire mesh from either side of the frame. Through the diamond pattern of the fence, a shirtless basketball player is visible in the background, in motion on an outdoor court. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the stark textures of the metal fence and human skin. The image is shot in New York, presenting a candid urban athletic scene.
