Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

About

This striking black and white studio portrait captured by photographer Michael Bailey-gates in New York presents two figures posed theatrically against a neutral backdrop. The adult figure on the left wears dark, shiny apparel with a dramatic fitted headpiece and holds a small doll aloft in one gloved hand. Seated on her lap is a child with dark, voluminous hair wearing a matching dark outfit and boots. The composition features strong contrast and a vintage photographic aesthetic with visible film border details.
