Black-and-white 1960s cinéma vérité photo of a tired surgical nurse leaning against an operating room wall, untying her cloth mask.

An exhausted surgical nurse slumps against tiled walls in an empty 1960s Paris operating room, rubbing a gloved hand over her brow as she unties her cloth mask. Captured with the unscripted, handheld immediacy of cinéma vérité on Kodak Plus-X film, the high-contrast black-and-white frame reveals dark, burnt-in edges and gritty, underexposed shadows beneath harsh overhead surgical lamps.
