Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a close-up shot of a woman looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. Fine tendrils of dark wet hair cling to her forehead and frame her face, catching the highlights of directional studio lighting. Her bare shoulder and collarbone curve into the lower frame against a solid black background. The high-contrast black and white grading accentuates skin texture and facial contours, creating a dramatic and intimate mood. The image was photographed in Auckland by Guy Coombes.
