Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white editorial image features a person framed within the center of a large, ornate sculptural ring featuring a carved lion head at the top and paws at the bottom. The composition creates a theatrical, neoclassical effect with high contrast monochrome tones. Bold yellow and bright pink typography appears along the margins of the magazine cover frame. The lighting emphasizes the textured surfaces of the plaster or stone sculpture while keeping the central figure in sharp focus. The portrait is captured by photographer Michael Bailey-Gates.
