Description
This striking black and white fashion portrait, part of the project Essence Is Just Getting Started for Paper Magazine, features a Black woman posing dynamically against a plain white studio backdrop. She wears minimalist white lingerie and white high-heeled shoes, with her long dark curly hair cascading down. The high-contrast lighting casts a sharp, dramatic shadow on the wall behind her, emphasizing her form and posture. The composition is vertical and full-length, captured by photographer Jack Maffucci with styling by Noah Diaz and makeup by Mollie Gloss.
