Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome editorial portrait by photographer Michael Bailey-gates features a woman with distinct braided pigtails gazing directly into the camera with a surprised expression. A lit candle sits in a holder in the foreground, held close to her mouth, creating a focal point in the lower center. She is dressed in a white button-down shirt with a sharply pointed collar. The top portion of the frame features bold pink text reading 'LOVE' set against a patterned pink banner. The background is a neutral grey studio tone, and the composition is vertical with crisp, high-contrast lighting.
