Ekua King, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait captured in London by photographer Ekua King focuses on the lower body and torso of a black woman. Her skin is coated in textured layers of wet clay and mud, creating organic patterns and drips running down her hips and legs. The composition is tightly cropped from behind against a solid, dark background, emphasizing the tactile qualities of the mud and the form of the subject. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the rich textures and contours of the clay-covered skin without harsh glares. The monochromatic dark backdrop contrasts sharply with the earthy tones of the subject.
