Aaron Feaver, New York

Description

This black and white editorial portrait by photographer Aaron Feaver features a Black woman with short hair holding a half-cut papaya and placing a piece of fruit into her mouth. A wide horizontal strip of textured tape is applied across the center of the composition, partially obscuring the midsection and the fruit she holds. She wears small hoop earrings and thin bracelets on her wrists. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the contours of her face and shoulders against a plain, light background. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the sculptural quality of the portrait.
