Andy Anderson, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a black woman with a composed expression, gazing directly into the camera. She wears a voluminous white turban wrapped tightly around her head, framing her features, alongside multiple strands of layered pearl necklaces. Her hands are raised gently to either side of her face, with her fingers resting near her jawline and earrings. The lighting creates high-contrast tonal gradients across her skin and garments against a deep black background. Captured by photographer Andy Anderson, the vertical composition emphasizes classic studio portraiture aesthetics.
