Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This editorial portrait captured by photographer Erik Tanner presents a figure in an elaborate theatrical costume. The subject wears a nurse cap, a soiled apron over a short-sleeved top, and extreme platform high-heel boots. The head and face are heavily wrapped and obscured, and the hands feature elongated prosthetic fingers. The figure stands in a slightly posed stance against a pale, off-white wall marked with faint charcoal or pencil cross symbols and lines. The lighting is flat and neutral, emphasizing the textured fabrics and gritty finish of the costume elements.
