Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait features Cynthia Erivo captured by photographer Mark Seliger in New York. The subject is depicted with a shaved head and expressive pose, hands raised near the head and shoulders. She wears a heavily embellished sequined gown with a plunging neckline and a textured dark fur wrap draped over her shoulders. Small heart tattoos are visible on her chest above the neckline, along with layered ear cuffs and rings. The lighting is dramatic and directional, creating strong highlights on the sequins and muscular definition of the arms against a neutral gradient background.
