Product description
By utilizing two mirrors to capture both her profile and a front-facing view, Ilse Bing redefined the possibilities of the 35mm camera in this 1931 masterpiece. This print showcases the German-American photographer’s technical mastery, featuring a high-contrast black and white palette that emphasizes the geometric lines of her equipment and the intense focus in her eyes. The composition is a seminal work of the New Vision movement, blending avant-garde technique with a personal study of the artist at work in her Paris studio.
This image evokes the intellectual energy of interwar Paris, a time when photography was transitioning from mere documentation to a sophisticated art form. It carries a mood of sharp precision and quiet confidence, reflecting the “Queen of the Leica” and her pioneering role in the history of female photographers. The interplay of light and shadow across the velvet curtains and glass surfaces creates a layered atmosphere that invites the viewer to look closer at the reflection within the reflection.
It fits the same shelf as our portrait photography prints, and sits comfortably next to street photography prints.
