About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a close-up of a helmeted head. The helmet has a pointed top and a faceplate with slits for eyes. The neck is wrapped in a thick, ruffled collar, and the shoulders are covered with a padded, quilted fabric. The lighting is dramatic, casting strong shadows on one side. The image looks like an old photograph of armor or a costume. The texture of the fabric and metal is clear, even in the grainy photo. Check out more works by Kirpichnikova, Catherine.
