Lisette Model

Cafe Metropole
n.d., printed 1977

A black and white photograph of a woman singing passionately into a vintage microphone, her mouth wide open as if hitting a high note, and her eyes slightly closed. She is holding the microphone stand with one hand, and her hair appears to be moving, adding a sense of dynamic energy to the image. She is wearing a dark, patterned dress with a lace-like texture. The background is indistinct, putting the focus on her expressive performance.
