Cruz Valdez, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait captured by photographer Cruz Valdez presents a profile view of a young black woman with a distinctive short blunt-cut bob hairstyle. She is captured mid-action blowing a round bubble from chewing gum against a stark, minimalist backdrop. The subject wears a textured leather jacket with a noticeable ostrich leather pattern and a slim buckled strap detail. The monochromatic high-contrast grading accentuates the sharp geometric lines of her haircut and the tactile quality of the outerwear. The composition is clean, modern, and focused entirely on the subject's expression and styling.
