Ferry Mohr, Photographer, Frankfurt

Description

This monochrome portrait photograph by Ferry Mohr captures a close-up of a Black woman whose facial features are fractured and duplicated by a reflective surface held in the foreground. The high-contrast black-and-white print reveals rich skin texture, dark eyes, and small hoop earrings. She wears a light-coloured collared top against a simple neutral background. The composition uses a distinct optical distortion to create a layered, multi-dimensional view of the subject's face.
