Matt Hawthorne, Photographer, New York

About

This black and white editorial image features a woman seated on outdoor stone steps, captured by photographer Matt Hawthorne. She wears a lightweight patterned jacket over a t-shirt, fitted leggings, and sneakers, with one hand resting near her head and the other on her knee. The composition utilizes hard natural sunlight creating sharp shadows on the steps and pavement below. Collage elements and a prominent athletic brand logo are visible in the corner of the frame. The textured aesthetic combines grainy high-contrast monochrome tones with layered photographic fragments.
