Model Study 17 2008

"Model Study 17" (2008) by Elina Brotherus is a photograph depicting a nude woman sitting on a wooden staircase. The image is shot from above, showcasing the model's back and the staircase in a minimalist style. The soft lighting and muted colors create a sense of intimacy and introspection, while the obscured window in the background suggests a sense of isolation and contemplation. This work exemplifies Brotherus' exploration of the female body and its relationship to space and self-identity within the context of contemporary photography.
