Malte Jäger, Photographer, Berlin

About

This close-up photographic portrait by Berlin-based photographer Malte Jäger captures the side profile of a woman looking upward. Her dark, curly hair frames her face while dramatic directional lighting catches her cheekbone, nose, and lips. She wears a small nose ring, and her glossy lips are slightly parted. The background is deeply shadowed, creating a high-contrast chiaroscuro effect that emphasizes the textures of her skin and hair.
