| One of America's leading
photographers, diCorcia is acclaimed for combining the informality of a
snapshot with the theatricality of a stated composition. Using an unobtrusive
system of lights that could be activated by signal, the photographer took
candid snapshots of pedestrians, capturing surprised, unposed moments in
contemporary city streets in New York, Los Angeles, Naples, and Tokyo, as
seen here. The photograph's instantaneity and intensity suggest the city's
energy. |
