Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait captures a woman standing upright inside a corner formed by two plain walls. She wears a dark jacket and trousers, positioned on the left side of the frame while casting a distinct shadow across the wall behind her. To her right, a simple wooden chair sits on the floor, holding a small object that casts a pronounced, elongated shadow. In the immediate foreground, a rectangular object rests on the lower surface. The scene is lit with directional lighting that emphasizes stark contrasts between light and shadow, creating a dramatic and moody atmosphere. Photographer Erik Tanner employs a monochromatic palette and minimalist composition to focus attention on form and shadow.
