Thom Gilbert, Photographer, New York

Description

This photograph by Thom Gilbert captures a weathered concrete formwork block resting on a construction site ground scattered with white debris and rubble. A bright orange hard hat sits perched on top of the concrete structure, providing a vivid splash of colour against the industrial greys. The lighting is bright and direct, casting sharp shadows across the textured concrete surfaces and surrounding earth. In the background, additional construction materials and structural elements complete the gritty industrial setting. The composition focuses squarely on the central concrete block, highlighting its rough industrial texture and the striking presence of the protective headwear.
