Cruz Valdez, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome fashion portrait by photographer Cruz Valdez captures a Black woman seated on a clean white backdrop. She wears dark, oversized sunglasses and long braided hair that cascades down her back. Her black top and dark tights create a high-contrast silhouette against the seamless background, with simple open-toe flats on her feet. Her hands are gently posed near her knee, and she gazes upward with a calm expression. The studio lighting produces sharp definition and a clean aesthetic.
