Captured in the quiet solitude of an early New York morning, this black and white photograph frames a fleeting moment of grace at Central Park's iconic Bethesda Terrace. The grand Minton tile arches create a powerful silhouette, drawing the eye to a lone dancer suspended in a moment of elegant motion. The interplay of deep shadows and soft morning light highlights the intricate architecture of the terrace and the ethereal quality of the dancer's form, creating a composition that is both timeless and deeply personal. This photograph is a celebrated piece from the visual autobiography book, Lens and Life, published in May 2024. It has received multiple international awards and recognitions for its compelling narrative and creative composition.
