Sandro, Photographer, Chicago

Description

A close-up portrait of an exhausted black female athlete in her 20s, captured with her eyes closed and mouth open in a deep gasp for air. She wears a white semi-transparent mesh zip-up jacket, with visible beads of sweat glistening across her face, neck, and clothing. Her hands are lifted to clasp her forehead in a moment of intense physical exertion. The dramatic low-key lighting casts deep shadows and stark highlights, sculpting the contours of her face and highlighting the texture of the wet fabric. This powerful athletic portrait was photographed in Chicago by Sandro.
