Gabriel Moses, Photographer, London

Description

This striking black and white portrait by photographer Gabriel Moses features a Black woman with a large, highly textured afro hairstyle that frames her face. The subject looks directly toward the camera with a serious expression against a solid dark background. The lighting highlights the fine details and curls of the voluminous hair, as well as the contours of her shoulders and face. The composition employs a square aspect ratio with dramatic contrast and a monochrome finish.
