Emily Stein, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait captures a young child wearing a light purple leotard with a matching skirt and hair scrunchie, captured mid-movement with her long braided hair sweeping to the side. Her eyes are scrunched shut in a playful, expressive grimace while her hands are raised in front of her. The lighting is bright and even, casting soft shadows against a solid, warm peach-colored studio backdrop. The composition is a vertical crop focusing on the upper body and head of the subject, highlighting the vibrant color contrast and the candid energy of the moment.
