Chieska Fortune Smith, Photographer, London

Description

This monochrome editorial portrait by Chieska Fortune Smith features a subject standing centrally against a large, multi-panelled wooden door. The subject wears a voluminous fur-trimmed jacket over light-coloured shorts and heavy boots, with distinct braided hair styling and visible neck tattoos. The image is captured in a grainy black-and-white film style with high contrast, casting strong shadows across the background and subject. A distinct beam of rectangular light frames the upper portion of the scene. The overall aesthetic is raw, tactile, and documentary-driven.
