Contributor Magazine Blinded by the light 2025

About

Photographed by Markus Wachter for Contributor Magazine's editorial project Blinded by the light, this black-and-white portrait captures a woman with wavy hair facing away from the camera. She adjusts the delicate tie fastening of an open-back, textured black dress. Natural directional light cuts across the background, casting strong horizontal shadows across a corrugated roll-up metal shutter. The composition emphasizes the subtle tactile knit pattern of the garment and the interplay of sunlight and shadow.
