Description

A close-up studio shot focuses on a nude African-American woman from the back, her head turned in profile to the left. The subject's dark skin is in stark contrast with the grey background. The woman is decorated with a multitude of small, white pearls that are adhered to her bare back and face. Her short, dark afro is neatly cropped. The lighting is low-key, which enhances the stark contrast and emphasises the texture of the skin and the pearls. The camera angle is at eye-level.
