Cher, Los Angeles, CA, 1973

The way her expression breaks through the black-and-white grain is just electric—you can feel the 1973 energy without any color. It’s casual but striking, and the print quality really lets Seeff’s lighting do its thing. I’ve stared at it twice already and keep noticing something new.

The contrast in that 1973 portrait is stunning—her relaxed expression against the sharp black-and-white tones really captures the era without trying too hard. I’ve had it up on my wall for a week and keep catching myself stopping to look at the way her gaze carries both confidence and that casual 70

The way she’s perched in that casual top, mid-laugh almost, feels so unguarded compared to the glittery Sonny & Cher persona. It’s framed beautifully in black and white, and it looks even better in person than on my screen.
