Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

About

This close-up photographic portrait by Alessandro Simonetti captures the back of a head and upper shoulders of an individual wearing a distinctive head covering. The subject wears a beige fabric durag featuring an all-over interlocking monogram pattern in a darker tone. A white fabric band or strap is wrapped tightly around the head and tied in a neat knot at the side, showing visible stitched seams and raw edges. The lighting is natural and directional, highlighting the smooth texture of the patterned textile and the contrast against the white undergarment visible at the base.
