Portfolio Series XL
Today's addition to the Portfolio Series is a true example of composition; utilizing the complexity of geometric shape, mixed with the expression of movement. The shot, which was taken by photographer Shawn Connell, emulates so many emotions in one moment. There is the buzz of the room that is expressed by the movement of the people - long exposure allows for the subjects to be forever "moving" instead of stagnant in the image. However the eye is drawn upward toward the breathtaking geometric designs of the glass ceiling. Combining the two allows the eye to rest on a steady spot, while also feeling the movement and energy of the room.
An extra note on this photo, this was captured during the first cocktail hour held at the Palm Court at the Plaza, which is clearly a stunning location in its own right. And has also only recently been open to the public for such events.
