Jessica Craig-martin, Photographer, New York

Description

This overhead editorial photograph captured by Jessica Craig-Martin focuses on the back of a man's head as he wears a distinctive blue and white knitted yarmulke secured with black hairpins. The skullcap features a detailed American flag motif embroidered near the bottom edge alongside white pattern work against a deep royal blue background. The dark, wavy hair of the subject is visible around the edges of the yarmulke, and the top of a dark suit jacket appears at the lower frame. The lighting creates a direct, observational documentary style characteristic of event and social portraiture.
