Victor Demarchelier, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman posing against a mottled grey background, captured by photographer Victor Demarchelier. She wears a dark velvet military-style jacket adorned with prominent jewelled buttons paired with loose-fitting trousers and a thin belt. Her hair is styled in a short side part, and she holds a cigarette lightly between her fingers with a direct, intense expression. The lighting is dramatic and directional, creating high contrast and emphasizing the rich textures of the velvet fabric. The composition is presented in a vertical orientation with a timeless black-and-white aesthetic.
