Jem Mitchell, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait by Jem Mitchell captures a subject seated outdoors with their back and upper body turned away from the camera. The individual is partially obscured by dynamic folds of translucent white plastic sheeting that billow around their head and shoulders. Straps are crisscrossed across the subject's back, holding the fabric in place and creating a sculptural composition. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the textures of the plastic and skin while casting the background into deep shadow.
