Five construction workers, one woman and four men, sit casually on a steel beam high above a cityscape in a black and white photorealistic style.

"A recreation of the famous 'Lunch atop a Skyscraper' photograph from 1932, featuring 5 construction workers (3 men and 2 women) sitting casually on a steel beam high above New York City. The workers are arranged from left to right: man in position 1, woman in position 2, man in position 3, woman in position 4, and man in position 5. The workers are dressed in 1930s work clothes - overalls, work shirts, suspenders, and caps. They are eating lunch from metal lunch boxes, with some holding sandwiches and thermos bottles. The steel beam extends across the frame with the workers spaced along it, their legs dangling freely over the edge. Far below, the streets and buildings of Manhattan are visible in hazy detail, emphasizing the dangerous height. The lighting is natural daylight with soft shadows. The composition should capture the same relaxed, fearless attitude of the original photograph - workers taking a casual lunch break despite being hundreds of feet in the air. Black and white photography style, high contrast, documentary realism, shot with a wide-angle lens to emphasize both the workers and the vertiginous drop below." See more
