Carter Smith, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This striking black and white editorial image by photographer Carter Smith captures a blonde model with short tousled hair seated cross-legged on a sunlit sandy beach. The subject wears a patterned V-neck tunic top with dark horizontal chest bands and is dusted with fine sand along the legs. The low-angle composition emphasises the subject against a bright horizon line where calm ocean water meets a clear sky. Natural sunlight creates sharp highlights and soft shadows across the scene, highlighting the relaxed, contemplative posture. The composition is captured in a vertical orientation with high-contrast monochrome tones.
