Mitch Epstein, Photographer, New York

Description

An elderly woman stands outdoors with her forehead pressed against a tall, vertical wooden wall or barrier structure. She wears a blue long-sleeve top over a turquoise layer and dark trousers, and carries a light-colored patterned tote bag slung over her shoulder. Natural daylight casts strong diagonal shadows across the lower wooden beams of the structure. The composition captures a candid, contemplative moment outdoors. The work is photographed by Mitch Epstein.
