Andy Anderson, Photographer, New York

Description

An intimate portrait photograph by Andy Anderson captures an older Black woman looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. She wears a vibrant red and yellow patterned headscarf, a white collared shirt under a plaid patterned garment, and a neutral-toned utility apron. A large metal shovel rests across her shoulder, its dark blade silhouetted against the vertical grain of a weathered wooden wall. The lighting emphasizes the fine textures of her clothing, the patterned fabric of the headwrap, and the rustic wood in the background.
