Amber Pinkerton, Photographer, London

About

This striking photographic portrait by London-based photographer Amber Pinkerton captures a Black woman with short hair looking upward in profile. She wears an elaborate, heavily textured crystal-embellished top and large sparkling rhinestone hoop earrings. The image features dramatic eyeliner, defined eye makeup, and a nose ring. The monochromatic or heavily desaturated blue-toned color grading imparts a grainy, analogue film aesthetic. The dark, subtle background emphasizes the brilliant reflective facets of the crystal garments and jewelry.
