A Woman Working at the Supreme Bean, Port Orchard, Washington, August

A vivid chromogenic print by Joel Sternfeld capturing a woman at work inside the Supreme Bean, a coffee shop in Port Orchard, Washington, bathed in the warm, everyday atmosphere of a small-town establishment. Sternfeld's signature large-format approach renders the scene with rich color and quiet documentary detail, elevating an ordinary moment of labor into a contemplative portrait of American life. The flush-mounted print enhances the image's clarity and depth, drawing the viewer into the intimate, unhurried world of a local gathering place.

Medium
Chromogenic print, flush-mounted.
