Noir Acrobatics

This is a series of photos from Long Beach, NY taken on an August evening during the 2016 Summer period. After spending some time observing the life around me and enjoying that feeling of serenity and excitement I get from beach, I saw on the other side of the boardwalk a Trapeze system with various skill levels of daredevils at play. I thought what fun it would be to capture a series of actions in one still frame, so some are double exposure compositions. A singular distanced vantage was used to capture as much of the scene as possible in sequence, while maintaining some of the mystery and excitement one can get when you have to analyze (or add to) the story being told. I envisioned a display of these images similar to what one would see in a contact sheet These photos were taken at the end of the day as dusk fell onto the scene.
