Cruz Valdez, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white fashion editorial photograph by Cruz Valdez captures two models suspended in mid-air above a rocky outdoor landscape. The model on the left wears a dark, patterned lace dress with dramatic feathered sleeves and towering platform boots, her hair styled in intricate sculptural knots. The model on the right wears a dark textured top and skirt with long, wind-swept hair framing her face, also wearing chunky lace-up platform boots. The low-angle composition emphasises their floating pose against a pale, overcast sky, with distant urban architecture visible on the horizon. The stark monochrome contrast and sharp lighting highlight the intricate textures of the garments, hair, and rough rock surface beneath them.
