Silhouette of a person with hair in a bun backlit by a bright sunset sky and silhouetted tree branches

Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

About

This vertical portrait features a strong silhouette of a person with their hair tied in a bun, captured in profile. The figure is heavily backlit by the warm, glowing light of a setting sun peeking directly from behind the neck and shoulder area. Tree branches and foliage are visible in the upper background, framing the scene with natural textures. The composition emphasizes high contrast, obscuring facial features in deep shadow while outlining the edge of the profile and shoulder against the bright atmospheric light. The photograph was taken by Alessandro Simonetti.
