Anne Menke, Photographer, New York

Description

This black-and-white photograph captures a woman lying down on an upholstered couch, her arms raised above her head with one hand resting near her face. She wears a plain light-colored two-piece swimsuit and a simple beaded necklace. Strong slatted sunlight casts alternating sharp shadows and bright highlights across her torso and the surrounding cushions, creating a high-contrast graphic effect. The composition is tightly framed from a side angle, emphasizing the interplay of light, shadow, and texture on skin and fabric. Captured in New York by photographer Anne Menke, the image carries a striking editorial aesthetic.
