Cass Bird, Photographer, New York

Description

Photographer Cass Bird captures an intimate backstage dressing room scene featuring a young woman with a voluminous curly afro hairstyle applying lipstick while looking into an illuminated mirror. The subject is seen from behind and reflected in the glass, wearing a patterned patterned knit top and dark patterned tights. A cluttered vanity table in the foreground holds various cosmetics, bottles, coffee cups, and personal items under warm bulb lighting. The composition utilizes a close framing and natural mirror reflection to create an authentic, candid moment.
