Man buying flowers, Paris 1951

Robert Frank's "Man buying flowers, Paris" (1951) is a classic example of his candid street photography. The black and white photograph captures a fleeting moment in time on a Parisian street, a man seemingly engrossed in a transaction with a street vendor. The composition is simple, with the main subject in the foreground and the Parisian streetscape receding into the distance, creating a sense of depth. The image is characteristic of Frank's style, capturing the everyday life of ordinary people in a natural and unstaged manner.
