Ekua King, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait captured by photographer Ekua King features a close-up of a Black individual's face adorned with scattered red granules across the skin. The subject's eyes are closed in a serene, composed expression. Dramatic low-key lighting isolates the face from the deep black background, creating a high-contrast aesthetic that emphasizes the tactile texture of the red particles against the skin. The composition is square and tightly framed, focusing entirely on the detailed facial features and artistic makeup elements.
