Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman standing against a heavily textured grey studio backdrop. She wears an oversized dark coat with prominent pockets and buttons, layered over dark apparel with high boots. Her hair falls in loose waves around her shoulders as she poses with one arm extended, capturing a dynamic sense of motion. The lighting creates subtle gradations of tone across her face and the fabric textures. The image was captured by photographer Norman Jean Roy in New York.
