Steve McCurry, Photographer, New York

Description

A portrait showcases an elderly woman with a light complexion and weathered skin, a white flower tucked behind her ear. She has a traditional, intricate black tattoo covering her chest and shoulders. She is wrapped in a green cloth, and her dark hair is pulled back. The background features a colourful painting of indigenous people and figures in an artistic style, rendered in yellow, red, and brown. The shot is composed as a medium shot with a focus on the subject's face and upper body. The lighting is soft and diffused, enhancing the texture of the woman's skin and the details of the tattoo.
