Description

A close-up studio beauty portrait created for Essence Magazine's Best in Black Beauty Awards, photographed by Brendan Wixted with styling by Dione Davis and hair styling by Jawara. The model, a Black woman with sleek dark hair parted down the middle, raises her hands with pale manicured nails to the sides of her head while posing with her mouth wide open in an expressive shout. She is styled in a tailored off-white blazer with visible dark contrast stitching, complemented by blue-grey eyeshadow and glossy dark-lined lips. The vertical composition is framed against a solid white seamless background with high-key beauty illumination.
