Juanita Richards, Photographer, London

Description

This black and white portrait features a smiling black woman standing outdoors in a vast landscape with low hills and a dramatic cloudy sky. She is wrapped in a voluminous, glossy hooded puffer jacket with ribbed cuffs, pulled closely around her upper body. Beneath the jacket, she wears a skirt with a subtle patterned finish. Shot in a high-contrast monochromatic style, the natural lighting emphasizes the metallic sheen of the outerwear and highlights her joyful expression. The composition is vertical, focusing tightly on the subject against the expansive horizon.
