Anya Holdstock, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up photographic portrait features a Black woman with short hair, captured in profile and glancing towards the camera with a neutral expression. She wears large, ornate, gold floral drop earrings with textured petals that catch the warm light. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, casting soft highlights across her face, cheekbones, and shoulders while the background remains dark and indistinct. The composition is intimate and focused, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the jewellery against her skin. The photograph was taken by Anya Holdstock in New York.
