Description

A monochrome fine-art dance portrait by Roman Varlamov for the After Midnight project features a woman executing an extreme backbend on a sand-covered floor. She wears two-tone white leggings and a contrasting dark top, styled by Anna Khitrina and Anna Talyzin with makeup by Alex Levy. As she arches backward with her head tilted toward the floor, a fine stream of sand trickles from her raised hand into the air. The scene is illuminated by dramatic directional lighting against an atmospheric dark studio backdrop.
