Street Photographer Mitchell Funk shoots an upward view of an old walkup in Hell's Kitchen with golden glittering light against a hot sky. The warm colors vaguely allude to the district's name. Yet as a city street photo ... it is quite beautiful with a luscious palette infused with warm oranges and yellows. The apparent residents are seen at the extreme base of the building lost in their daily activities. Funk's street style is more precise and composed than traditional snapshot street photography. He brings the compositional exactitude of studio photography to street photography and thereby redefines the contemporary aesthetic.
