Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This magazine cover portrait features model Amber Valletta wearing a sheer, ruched tan long-sleeve dress with a plunging V-neckline and choker detail. Her blonde hair is slicked straight back, and she wears dangling silver chain earrings. The dramatic low-key lighting casts deep shadows across the dark background while highlighting the sculptural drapery of her gown. Large yellow typography spelling MUSE spans the top of the frame, with smaller accompanying text and issue details aligned on the sides. The composition is captured with a moody, cinematic aesthetic by photographer Norman Jean Roy.
