This is a photo of Martha Graham, taken by photographer Yousef Karsh. This image captured my attention because of the strong gestures made by Ms. Graham. They create a strong sense of mood, life, beauty, romance and grace to the composition. Also, the dramatic lighting ties in the positive and negative spaces together.
