Gleeson Paulino, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a Black woman with short, textured hair captured in New York by creative Gleeson Paulino. She wears a structured white top characterised by clean lines and pleated lower paneling. The composition employs high-contrast lighting that casts dramatic shadows across the subject and background, creating a moody and sculptural aesthetic. The background consists of a dark, textured architectural surface that contrasts sharply with the illuminated white garment. The tight framing and intense gaze produce an intimate yet formally rigorous visual study.
