About

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman with long textured hair wearing a wide-brim felt hat and a dark jacket over a patterned top. She gazes directly into the camera while holding a lit cigarette, with wisps of smoke curling gently upward near her face. Her hand is raised, showing a ring and a watch on her wrist. The lighting is moody and directional, creating soft highlights and deep shadows that emphasize the texture of her clothing and hair. Styled by April Hughes, the image is set against a plain grey background.
