Ansgar Sollmann, Photographer, Frankfurt

Description

This portrait photograph by Ansgar Sollmann in Frankfurt features a plus size black woman with dark wavy hair posing against the background of modern escalator railings with bright horizontal light strips. She is wearing a fitted yellow turtleneck sweater, with one hand raised to her head and the other holding her collar near her chin. The low-key lighting creates dramatic shadows on her face while highlighting the vivid yellow knit texture of her top. The composition uses a vertical framing with the diagonal lines of the escalator slicing through the background.
