Style, as we read it
An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
Street photography lit like cinema. For Heads (2001) he hid strobes on scaffolding in Times Square so passers-by stepped into a pool of light against a dark city; one subject sued and the court sided with the artist. Earlier tableaux made everyday rooms look like film stills.
- Colour
- Rich, saturated colour; warm skin against cool, dark surroundings.
- Composition
- Isolated figures, tight on the face or set in a stage-like street.
- Light
- Hidden flash mixed with ambient light: a spotlight in daylight.
- Tone
- High contrast, deep falling-off shadows.
- Texture
- Sharp, clean, cinematic.
- Mood
- Lonely, theatrical, suspended.
