Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a person seated on a simple chair inside a weathered room with textured plaster walls. The subject wears elaborate white garments and holds an ornate rectangular picture frame up to their face, surrounding their head with a ruffled lace collar reminiscent of historical portraiture. Captured by photographer Pieter Henket with creative direction by Chino Castilla, the image is part of the book project Birds of Mexico City. The high-contrast black-and-white tones emphasize the intricate textures of the lace, fabric, and aged architectural backdrop.
