Description

This studio portrait from the AWA project features model Awa Diallo captured by photographer Calvin Pausania. The subject poses with dramatic lighting that accentuates her silhouette, wearing a dark top against a neutral gradient backdrop. Hair stylist Ilham Mestour created the sculptural red hairstyle with a sweeping fringe, while makeup artist Naima Bremer applied polished makeup details. The composition utilizes high-contrast directional lighting to highlight the contours of the face and pose.
