About

This black and white portrait features actress Gabrielle Union laughing while leaning forward on a sandy beach. She has voluminous, long curly hair framing her face and a wide, joyful expression with teeth showing. She wears an unbuttoned white shirt draped loosely over her shoulders and dark bottoms. The natural outdoor lighting creates bright highlights and soft shadows on her skin and clothing. The background shows a bright, out-of-focus coastline and horizon.
