Ralph Gibson, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white analog photograph by Ralph Gibson captures two women lying side by side on the bow of a small boat. Both women wear dark bikinis with their arms raised behind their heads in relaxed poses while sunbathing. The bow of the boat points forward into calm, dark water that fills the upper portion of the frame. The high-contrast monochromatic composition emphasises the texture of the water and the form of the subjects under natural daylight.
