Description

This monochrome portrait for the De Beers Shadows project features a model wearing fine diamond jewellery, including a prominent bracelet and ring. Photographed by Paul Scala with art direction by Richard Pang and styling by Naomi Miller, the image employs a multiple exposure or motion blur technique that streaks light across the model's face and upper body. The subject poses with one hand raised across her eyes while wearing a dark strapless garment against a minimalist backdrop. The high-contrast black and white grading creates a dramatic, moody atmosphere that highlights the brilliance of the jewellery.
