James Macari, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking monochrome portrait features a model posed against a plain studio background, wearing a massive, theatrical black pleated ruff collar that fans out dramatically around her head and shoulders. In one hand, she holds a round white card featuring a hand-drawn illustration of an eye, partially obscuring her face. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the intricate texture of the pleated sheer fabric and creating smooth gradients across her skin. The composition is low-angle, emphasizing the sculptural volume of the collar and the model's posed limbs.
