Katie Mccurdy, New York

Description

This striking monochrome image captured by photographer Katie Mccurdy in New York presents a portrait of a woman standing outdoors at night. She wears an oversized buttoned coat with her arms crossed, gazing downward with a subtle, introspective expression. Her wet-styled dark hair frames her face, catching highlights from the surrounding lighting. To her left stands a large evergreen tree adorned with glowing string lights, casting a soft bokeh effect against the dark background. The composition employs high-contrast black-and-white grading, emphasizing texture in the heavy fabric of the coat and the sparkling lights of the tree.
