Christopher Anderson, Photographer, London

Description

This striking monochrome photographic portrait captured by Christopher Anderson in London presents a rear-view composition of a person with short hair holding a wide, patterned textile aloft. The subject wears a strappy garment and dark bottoms, creating a strong graphic silhouette against the textured surface of crinkled plastic sheeting behind them. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the strong lines of the textile's geometric patterns and the dramatic play of light across the scene. The outdoor setting is hinted at by the bright sky and distant architectural details visible past the translucent plastic barrier.
