Ekua King, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait captured by London-based photographer Ekua King features a close-up of a Black woman wearing a fitted red turtleneck top. A vibrant red background sets a moody and monochromatic tone, while a prominent red light flare or refraction partially obscures her upper face and forehead. The lighting creates deep shadows and stark highlights across her features, emphasizing texture and form. The composition is tightly cropped, focusing entirely on the subject's intense gaze and expression.
