Linda is a self-taught Brooklyn based street photographer. These photos are part of a series entitled, “Passersby” which explores the urban environment —the people and experiences of our everyday lives as we move about the city. Her photos examine the mysteries and ambiguities of the world around her using filters, reflections, and refractions to illuminate hidden features and relationships, obscure borders, and play with layers and textures. She achieves the abstractions in my work through the use of reflections, shadows, silhouettes, shadows, and “shooting through” substances - no digital manipulation such as compositing or cloning is used.
