Emily Soto, Photographer, New York

Description

A high-angle portrait captures a young Black woman in a photo studio. Her dark hair is styled in short twists. The woman's skin tone contrasts with a silver top, which features a subtle geometric pattern and slightly ruffled sleeves. She supports her face with both hands, her elbows resting out of view. The backdrop is a plain white, contributing to a clean aesthetic. The camera angle creates a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is looking down at the subject. The lighting is soft and even, minimizing shadows and emphasizing the woman's features. Her expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed towards the camera.
