Ralph Gibson, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photograph features a hand holding a small, round mirror. The mirror reflects a partial view of a person's face, specifically the nose and mouth. The reflection is sharply contrasted against the dark interior of the mirror. The hand holding the mirror is partially obscured in shadow. In the background, a blurred landscape suggests an outdoor setting. The sky is overcast or featureless. Above the mirror, the words 'Self-Exposure' appear in red text, followed by 'Ralph Gibson' in smaller black text. The overall mood is artistic and introspective. The image looks like a book cover.
