New York Monochrome

New York, late afternoon. The city’s light here is diffuse and cool, softening the edges of weathered brick facades and the skeletal details of fire escapes. Ludwig Favre moves through its alleys and intersections, where figures are framed by the geometry of buildings,towering columns, arched windows, reflective glass,and the play of shadow and artificial glow. The black-and-white palette sharpens contrasts: the stark silhouette of a lone figure against a sunlit storefront, the blur of pedestrians on a rain-slicked street, the elongated shadows cast by striped structures in deep evening light.

A lone figure crosses a quiet urban intersection at night, the streetlights casting long rectangles across parked vehicles.

The New York black-and-white street photography series by Ludwig Favre is available as a limited edition fine art print, signed and numbered.
