Mary Wiles, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

A monochrome, medium shot captures a woman in a patterned suit walking across a crosswalk on a city street. She is wearing a double-breasted plaid suit with wide-legged pants and pointed-toe flats. Her facial expression is neutral as she walks with a purposeful stride. The photograph is taken at eye level, and the depth of field keeps both the subject and the immediate background in focus. Tall buildings line both sides of the street, and cars are parked along the curb. The lighting is soft and diffused, casting subtle shadows. The image features high contrast and a full tonal range. The composition emphasizes the subject's movement through the urban environment.
