Ari Abramczyk, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This close-up photographic portrait by Ari Abramczyk captures a Black woman with her eyes closed in a joyful, laughing expression. She wears glossy dark red lipstick that accentuates her wide smile and white teeth. Her hand is raised gently near her lower lip, with manicured fingernails visible. Small silver hoop earrings are visible in her earlobes. Hard, direct natural light creates sharp shadow lines across her face and neck, highlighting the rich texture of her skin.
