Ann Cutting, Photographer, Dallas

Description

This striking studio portrait by photographer Ann Cutting features a close-up composition of a woman wearing a dark fitted cap and a dark high-necked top. Her eyes are entirely obscured by an elaborate botanical arrangement of spiky thistle flowers and seed heads that branch outward across her forehead and crown. Her hand is raised gently beneath her chin, drawing attention to her lower face and lips. The image is rendered in a desaturated, monochromatic tone with soft lighting that accentuates the sculptural textures of the thistles and the smooth contours of her skin. The plain background keeps the focus entirely on the surreal floral headpiece and the subject's poised expression.
