Bethany Mollenkof, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking portrait photograph captured in New York by photographer Bethany Mollenkof showcases the silhouette of a Black woman in profile. The subject is dramatically illuminated by cool blue rim lighting that traces the contours of her hair tied back in a bun, her cheekbone, nose, and shoulder. A faint chain necklace is visible across her chest against the deeply shadowed foreground. The background is dark and moody with soft gradient lighting wrapping around the silhouette.
