Steve McCurry, Photographer, New York

Description

An elderly woman with grey hair is captured in a striking portrait against a vibrant painted mural background. She features intricate, bold black traditional tattoos covering her chest and shoulders. A single white plumeria flower is tucked neatly behind her ear in her hair. She wears a green fabric garment draped around her lower chest and shoulders, and a silver metallic band adorns her wrist. The lighting highlights the weathered texture of her skin and the precise line work of her body art, creating a powerful documentary composition.
