Description from the seller
Taken at Coney Island, New York, in 2022, this masterful long-exposure photograph is a Grand Prize winner from the "My Perfect Shot" competition and was featured in a 2023 exhibition in Chicago in Bridgeport Art Center.
The image presents a powerful, symmetrical view from beneath the iconic pier. The concrete pillars create compelling leading lines, guiding the viewer's gaze into the misty distance.
Through the technique of long exposure, the ocean's movement is transformed into a dreamlike fog that envelops the base of the structure, contrasting the solid, weathered concrete with the soft, ethereal water. The composition is further enhanced by the geometric pattern of light and shadow cast upon the wet sand, creating a captivating interplay of texture and form.

Seller's Story
Hello, I'm Viktoria Farkas. I've always been a person in search of new possibilities. In 2020, that search took me on a journey to America. My mission was twofold: to learn English and to dive into the world of photography. It was a challenging path, but I successfully learned my new profession in a new language. Today, photography is more than a skill for me—it's one of the ways I express love and connect with the world. Now, photography is one of my true love languages.
