Guen Fiore, Photographer, London

Description

A striking portrait by photographer Guen Fiore features a Black woman seated on a modern office chair against a plain white background. She wears an elaborate, textured sleeveless garment constructed entirely from woven ropes and decorative hanging tassels in earthy tones, reds, and greens. Her short dark hair features a distinct, uneven fringe, and she looks directly toward the camera while sipping from a small red soda can through a yellow straw. Her right hand holds the beverage while her bare feet rest near the base of the stool, alongside a pair of black pointed-toe heels. The lighting is clean and soft, emphasizing the tactile qualities and intricate craftsmanship of the unique woven apparel.
