Kutlu, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a close-up composition of a woman whose arm is raised horizontally across her face, creating a strong diagonal shadow that divides the frame. The lighting casts high-contrast highlights and deep shadows across her nose, lips, and visible eye. Subtle repeating watermark text is faintly visible across the composition. The overall aesthetic is clean, minimalist, and intensely focused on tonal contrast.
