Alexandrena Parker, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This intimate close-up portrait, captured by photographer Alexandrena Parker, features the face of a young child with light skin and freckles. A small garden snail crawls across her right cheek near her nose, captured in sharp focus against her skin. The child's eyes are closed and her lips are slightly parted in a serene expression. Her long, curly light-brown hair fans out around her head against a dark background. Warm, directional sunlight casts deep, dramatic shadows across one side of her face, highlighting the texture of her skin and the details of the snail's shell. She wears a plain white t-shirt, visible at the bottom of the frame.
