Ekua King, Photographer, London

About

This striking photographic portrait by Ekua King captures a black woman posing dramatically against a vivid red textured backdrop. She wears a long-sleeved black turtleneck dress, her arms outstretched to create a stark geometric silhouette that contrasts with the vibrant red surface behind her. The composition employs a low-angle perspective, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the pose. The lighting creates deep shadows, accentuating the contours of the figure and the rich grain of the background material.
