Balazs Gardi, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features an elderly Black woman captured in close-up by photographer Balazs Gardi in Los Angeles. She wears distinctive wire-rimmed glasses and a dark ribbed turtleneck sweater, with small pearl stud earrings visible on her earlobes. Her hair is styled up in a neat bun, and her expression is thoughtful and composed. The high-contrast black-and-white treatment emphasizes the rich skin texture, natural lines, and fine details of her face. The shallow depth of field softly blurs the exterior background, drawing sharp focus to the subject.
