Paris

Elliott Erwitt
1989

Being a dancer, I was instantly attracted to the person leaping in this photograph. What I love most about this photograph is that Erwitt was able to take this in the rain without it looking messy. There's great contrast, some movement, and he's showing a different perspective. I really like this photograph.
