Joshua Steen, Director, New York

Description

This black-and-white photograph, directed by Joshua Steen, captures an intimate close-up shot framed entirely from inside a vintage convertible car. The primary focus centers on the car's rearview mirror, which clearly reflects the focused eyes and upper face of a woman. A hand lightly adjusts or touches the edge of the mirror frame in the foreground. Below the mirror, the steering wheel, dashboard, and the curving chrome windshield frame structure the lower and upper portions of the composition. The background reveals blurred outdoor foliage visible through the windshield, rendered in natural light with a distinct analog film texture. The monochrome grading emphasizes high-contrast metallic highlights on the car interior and soft shadows across the cabin.
