Alexandra Leese, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking photographic portrait by Alexandra Leese features a Black woman standing waist-deep in tranquil water at dusk or dawn. She holds a cluster of large seashells pressed against her chest with both arms. The image employs a distinct motion blur technique that creates a ghostly, layered halo effect around her silhouette and face. The background consists of a calm body of water meeting a soft horizon under a muted sky with gentle cloud patterns. The muted color palette is dominated by deep browns, shadows, and natural water tones.
