Adrienne Raquel, New York

Description

A striking overhead portrait captured by photographer Adrienne Raquel features a Black woman wearing a flowing white off-the-shoulder dress with a matching hooded veil. She is posed with her hands clasped together in prayer, looking directly upward toward the camera with a direct expression. Her dark braided locs frame her face, complemented by subtle gold rings on her fingers. She is seated amidst a vast array of tall white pillar candles scattered across the dark floor, casting a warm flickering glow over the scene. The lighting creates strong contrast against the deep shadows, highlighting the shimmering fabric of her gown and the soft texture of the wax.
