Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait by photographer Norman Jean Roy captures a woman outdoors with her arms raised, wearing a dark coat visibly damp with water droplets. Her head is tilted back with eyes closed in a serene expression, while her wet hair frames her face. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the textures of the damp fabric and the fluid movement of her pose against a bright, hazy sky background. Shot in New York, the composition highlights dramatic lighting and expressive gesture.
