Description

This monochrome editorial image features an elderly woman standing centrally on a wide asphalt street intersection lined with city buildings and parked cars. She wears a voluminous, structured trench coat with belted details and patterned stockings paired with chunky lace-up boots. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the architectural lines of the urban environment and the dramatic folds of her outerwear. Shot from a slightly low angle, the composition captures an observational moment against a backdrop of distant streetlights and overcast sky. The photograph is captured by photographer Russell James.
