Saul Leiter - V1

By Saul Leiter. A black and white photograph taken from a low angle, focusing on a young woman with a serious expression, standing in the middle of the frame. the woman appears to be in her late teens or early twenties, with her hair styled in a bun, and she is wearing a loose-fitting sweater. her eyes are focused intently on something in the distance, and her expression conveys a sense of contemplation. the background is blurred, but we can see a cityscape with tall buildings and a smoky atmosphere, with a large, elongated beam of light illuminating her face, casting a dramatic shadow across the scene. the overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative, with the woman standing alone in the midst of the industrial setting.
