Eric Guillemain, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features a woman with dark hair wearing a button-down white shirt with rolled sleeves. She stands close to a light-colored architectural wall, looking directly toward the camera with a neutral expression. In her right hand, she holds a lit cigarette up near her face, with thin wisps of smoke curling upward past her head into the upper frame. The lighting creates a high-contrast chiaroscuro effect, highlighting her facial features and the texture of the fabric while casting deep shadows in the background. The composition is captured vertically with a moody, intimate atmosphere.
