Zoe Ghertner, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features a woman seated on an outdoor metal fire escape stairs structure in an urban setting. She is wearing a distressed sleeveless top and textured fishnet tights, with her hands clasped together in her lap. Her dark hair is damp and textured, framing her face as she looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. The composition uses vertical framing with a shallow depth of field, rendering the background building facade softly out of focus behind the metal railing and chain-link fence. The natural daylight creates high-contrast shadows across the scene, accentuating the textures of the clothing and the industrial surroundings.
