New York 1945

"New York" (1945) by Harry Callahan (1912-1999) is a striking example of his signature style in street photography. The image features a woman in a long coat and hat standing in a stark, sun-drenched city scene, her elongated shadow cast on the pavement. The composition is both minimalist and evocative, using the contrasting light and dark tones to create a sense of isolation and mystery. Callahan's stark and often abstract approach to photography influenced the development of modern photography, making him a key figure in the medium's evolution.
