Description

This black and white portrait features a young child with a large mass of curly hair and a joyful expression, captured with a missing front tooth. The subject is wearing a long-sleeved knit sweater adorned with distinct animal graphic patches and denim jeans. The child stands outdoors, gripping the upper frame of an open-door vintage vehicle, possibly a jeep or safari truck, with wooded trees visible in the soft-focus background. The composition is rendered in a monochrome tone with natural lighting highlighting the subject's face and textured hair. The image was photographed in Cape Town by Luke Kuisis.
