About

This striking monochrome portrait features a model captured in profile by photographer David Short in London. The subject wears a tightly fitted, textured white swim cap and matching white vintage-style goggles resting on the forehead. A patterned swimsuit with bold black and white botanical motifs covers the shoulders. The lighting emphasizes the sharp contours of the face and the vintage athletic aesthetic of the swimwear. The composition creates a clean, graphic interplay of light, shadow, and pattern against a minimalist neutral backdrop.
