Piece description from the artist
This capture is one of my “On Top of the World” series. Some works focus on daytime; some like this one emphasize early evening scenes. Every so often you plan to be in a certain place and in turns out to be the right place at the right time. I wanted to photograph the New York City skyline from this particular rooftop location for some time. I arrived about one hour before sunset because the light would be behind me as I faced east. This day nature complied with a beautiful sky and lighting. The details and shadows surrounding the buildings and street were striking. I hope viewers enjoy a scene depicting how awesome and magical New York City can appear at the right moment. At the time, I felt like was on top of the world.
Kenneth focuses cityscapes, street photography and landscapes, particularly using low light and long exposure techniques. His work also features black and white photography, especially emphasizing a cinema noir atmosphere.
