Walter, 2008 by Annick Rosenfield
HHS! contender Annick Rosenfield's steely-eyed subject Walter looks askance while reaching into his pocket. His look is timeless, his posture stiff and formal, and his face bathed in a cool, natural sunlight that could be nearly any time of day.
A 2009 graduate of SVA's MFA program, Rosenfield's work has been published in Photo District News and The New York Times Magazine along with numerous New York City galleries. Of her work, she writes,
These images are from a series I made of minimalist portraits. I wanted to see how little information I could give the viewer and still make an interesting photograph. With this series I was particularly interested in the use of gesture, facial expression, and negative space.
You can see additional work and portraits by Rosenfield on her website.
