Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman walking forward through the vast, shadowed interior of an industrial hangar. She wears a structured white dress and dark shoes, holding a coat and bag as she moves beneath exposed steel beams and a single diagonal overhead light strip. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes the architectural lines of the cavernous space and the dramatic play of light and shadow. The composition was captured by photographer Norman Jean Roy in New York.
