Michael Baumgarten, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Michael Baumgarten captures a woman viewed from behind, her blonde hair styled in intricate braids. She faces a rustic, weathered wooden-framed window or mirror with extensively shattered glass. Through the broken panes, her face is reflected with a calm expression, accented by blue eye makeup and a bright pink lip. She wears a patterned long-sleeved garment with a geometric floral motif in yellow, black, and blue, layered beneath a vibrant blue high collar and thin black harness straps. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of the distressed wooden frame and the jagged shards of glass. The background consists of a dark, neutral, mottled surface that contrasts with the detailed patterns of her clothing.
