Andre L. Perry, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This portrait photograph by Andre L. Perry captures a smiling Black woman in her 20s outdoors in Los Angeles. She wears a light blue zipped jacket over a black bralette, paired with dark trousers, and holds the end of her extremely long braided hair. Her hair is styled in intricate cornrows leading into a single thick braid. She leans back against the glossy blue exterior of a vintage car parked beneath a tall palm tree. The bright natural daylight illuminates the scene against a partly cloudy blue sky. The composition emphasizes a candid, joyful mood with vibrant clothing colors and clear atmospheric details.
