Alistair Taylor-Young, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait, captured by photographer Alistair Taylor-Young, focuses tightly on the face of a woman wearing large, thick-rimmed black sunglasses. A sharp, diagonal shadow cuts across her forehead and nose, creating strong contrast against her light-coloured hair and skin. Her parted lips reveal subtle details, while fine facial features and freckles remain visible under the directional light. The composition employs a tight crop that emphasizes the sculptural frames of the eyewear and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.
