Kerry Hallihan, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait captures English actress Gwendoline Christie posing against a seamless dark background, photographed by Kerry Hallihan. She is captured from a three-quarter back angle, looking back over her shoulder with a thoughtful expression. She wears a sleeveless black top with detailed strap work across the open back, paired with matching dark trousers featuring side pockets. The lighting is dramatic and directional, creating high-contrast highlights along her shoulder, arm, and the contours of her face. The monochromatic color grading emphasizes the sculptural quality of the composition and the clean, minimalist aesthetic of the studio shoot.
