This 5th episode of Street Studio takes us out onto the High Line in Manhattan, an abandoned railroad track-turned park. This elevated greenway runs through the west side of Manhattan and is a fine spot for tourists and other people with a few minutes to spare.
With socially distanced foot traffic moving in one direction, it is up to Fiton to take his studio lighting skills outside during the harsh morning and noon hours of daylight and photograph strangers with minimal gear.
Fiton adapted well with the use of some V-Flats and the help of pretty strangers as he brought an amazing studio feel to images that look anything but impromptu.
