This huge poster for the musical “Phantom of the Opera, displayed behind a textured glass window, offered me a chance to create this blend of make-believe and reality. The poster featured a black background filled with lighted candelabras surrounding the main characters of the play. The street just behind me was reflected on the glass in front of the poster. I made many photographs of this reflected scene, expressing a sense of the city itself within the poster. I chose this shot, because the reflection of the yellow taxi moving through a textured sea of glowing candles incongruously compares contemporary urban life to vintage theatrical fantasy.
