Erika Astrid, Photographer, Berlin

About

This close-up portrait photograph by Erika Astrid features a Black woman with long braided hair and closed eyes, framed against a plain light background. She wears a textured blue hat that sits high on her head, with her hands raised near the edges of the frame. Bold blue eyeliner frames her eyelids, accentuating her makeup, and a small nose ring gleams in the light. The composition captures her from the chest up with soft lighting highlighting the rich texture of her skin and braids.
