Henry Wessel, Jr.

Night Walk, Los Angeles, No. 43

A solitary figure moves through the quiet, shadowy streets of Los Angeles at night, captured in Wessel's signature stark black-and-white contrasts. The gelatin silver print bathes the urban landscape in deep shadows and pools of artificial light, creating an atmosphere of stillness and quiet mystery. Wessel's keen eye transforms an ordinary nocturnal scene into a study of solitude and the poetic geometry of city life after dark.

Medium
Gelatin silver print.
