Joel Meyerowitz

Joel Meyerowitz is an American street, portrait and landscape photographer. He began photographing in colour in 1962 and was an early advocate of the use of colour during a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of colour photography as serious art.

• 

 his early work consisted mainly of black-and-white street photographs made with a Leica, by 1976 he had turned primarily to colour photographs of architectural light and space made with a large-format view camera.

I like the use of tones in this image and how the urban environment around is eye catching such as the empire state building that can be seen at the end of the horizon. The use of low shutter speed it shows how New York is busy and full of life as down the street you can see the pedestrians walking towards the foreground.
