April Hughes, Fashion Stylist, New York

About

This close-up vertical portrait captures a person holding their hands up near their face while wearing a heavy, textured black knitted sweater. The chunky knit fabric drapes across the foreground, partially obscuring the lower half of the face and creating a dramatic play of light and shadow across the features. Soft natural daylight illuminates the subject's skin and lips, highlighting the tactile weave of the garment. The background consists of out-of-focus natural greenery, adding a soft bokeh effect to the composition. Styled by fashion stylist April Hughes, the image emphasizes texture, gesture, and intimate framing.
