Carter Smith, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A young woman with dark hair is the focal point of the image, seated amongst a collection of light grey rocks. She is looking up, toward a diffused, yellow light source, that is reflecting onto her face. The woman is wearing a dark, long-sleeved dress with unusual, wing-like metal cuffs on her arm. The environment consists entirely of the rocky terrain, which creates a textural and visually busy setting. The composition of the photo emphasizes the contrast between the dark dress and the light-colored rocks, highlighting the model. The diffused lighting adds a soft and ethereal quality to the scene, casting subtle shadows and emphasizing the contours of the rocks.
