Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white image captures a backstage dressing room scene created by photographer Michael Bailey-gates. Four individuals are gathered around a seated woman wearing hair rollers and a light-coloured top, who looks toward the camera. A man leans over the dressing table with his hands resting near her, while another man stands to the left in a suit and tie, and a third person adjusts the woman's hair from behind. A vertical vanity mirror with lit bulbs frames the right side of the composition. The top of the frame features the brand text ami alexandre mattiussi. The lighting is soft and directional, creating smooth tonal gradients across the subjects.
