Description

This black and white studio portrait showcases a pregnant African-American woman. She is dressed in a knitted crop top and a matching knitted skirt with black horizontal stripes. A long, semi-transparent scarf is draped loosely around her arms and shoulders. She has a shaved head and is wearing slip-on shoes with a pointed toe. The background is dark and plain, which puts the focus on the subject. The lighting is even, illuminating the woman's form and highlighting the textures of the knitted clothing. Her pose is confident. The image is shot at eye-level.
