Cecil Arp, Photographer, Berlin

About

A close-up portrait photograph captured by Cecil Arp in Berlin features a young Black woman with voluminous dark curly hair. Strong, direct sunlight cuts across her face, creating a high-contrast interplay of deep shadow and bright warm highlights on her features. She gazes upward and away from the camera with a neutral expression. The composition is tightly cropped around her shoulders, emphasizing texture and dramatic lighting. The background remains dark and undefined, focusing all visual attention on the subject's illuminated face and hair.
