About

A person is captured holding a round dark plate stacked with triangular slices of fresh red watermelon with green rinds and black seeds. The subject wears a button-down short-sleeve shirt featuring an intricate orange floral and dark geometric pattern. The lighting is crisp and direct, highlighting the vibrant red flesh of the fruit and the detailed texture of the textile. The tight framing focuses closely on the hands presenting the dish against the patterned backdrop. This editorial portrait was captured by photographer Gabriela Herman.
