Cruz Valdez, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome fashion portrait by photographer Cruz Valdez captures a woman seated against a dark studio background. She wears an oversized glossy leather trench coat belted tightly at the waist, paired with a matching structured pillbox hat. Her dark hair features straight-cut bangs framing her face as she poses with her hand near her chin. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the rich sheen and tactile texture of the leather material. Strong directional lighting sculpts the contours of her face and the folds of the coat, creating a moody and cinematic atmosphere.
