Atlantic City 1966

"Atlantic City" (1966) by Ray K. Metzker is a striking black and white photograph that showcases the artist's unique style of photocollage. The image features a woman walking through a tunnel, captured in a dynamic composition. The tunnel's walls are covered in elongated vertical lines, mimicking the effect of light streaks, creating a sense of movement and distortion. The woman's form is partly obscured, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the piece. Metzker's use of light and shadow, combined with his innovative photographic techniques, transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, capturing the essence of urban life in a captivating manner.
