Terese, Crosswalk, NYC

Many of my photographic preferences come together in this shot: Inventing and staging a story where I can be a documentary- rather than a fashion- photographer. Natural lighting (in this case the New York City dawn and headlights of cars). A beautiful woman who does not pose but lives in the story. Hair and make-up that doesn’t change the character of the person. My Leica. Black and White. An unrepeatable moment in time.

Hair and make-up by Angela di Carlo. Dress by Alice and Olivia.
