A movie scene inspired me to transform a photo I made in 2013 in a secluded street in Lower Manhattan: Cortlandt Alley, on the borders of Chinatown, Tribeca and SoHo.
This is, especially in the evening, a totally deserted alley. They film here regularly for commercials.
Almost nothing you see is real; steam, buildings, colors. But it fits exactly in the picture I have in my head when I take a movie scene in mind.
Of course, the buildings you see really exist, but not in the way they are presented here.
Because I have a b&w camera, I had to add color. And by doing some research how a movie street scene would look like, I came to this result.
