Untitled (Storefront Churches series) 1960

This black and white photograph, "Untitled (Storefront Churches series)" taken in 1960 by Milton Rogovin, depicts a woman with her eyes closed, appearing to be in deep prayer. The composition is simple, focusing solely on the subject, with a single lightbulb casting a bright light above her. This image is part of Rogovin's "Storefront Churches series" which documents the African American community in Buffalo, New York. The series aims to capture the resilience and spirituality of the community through intimate portraits and candid moments of everyday life.
