Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

Description

A vertical portrait photograph features a woman with shoulder-length dark hair standing outdoors against a softly blurred coastal or hillside backdrop during daylight. She wears a plain white cotton t-shirt featuring a centered rectangular graphic illustration of a figure in a white uniform cap and jacket smoking against a blue background. Her arms show several dark ink tattoos on both forearms, including line work and botanical designs. Natural soft light illuminates the scene, catching the texture of her hair as it gently blows in the wind. The composition is captured with a shallow depth of field, keeping the subject in sharp focus while the background remains softly out of focus.
