About

This close-up portrait features two Black women with natural textured hair embracing warmly against a neutral backdrop. The woman on the left has her eyes closed and lips puckered in a playful gesture, while holding the face of the woman beside her. The second woman smiles gently with eyes closed, leaning into the embrace. The composition employs soft lighting that highlights their skin textures and features. Captured by director and photographer Heather Favell in Sydney, the image conveys intimacy and connection.
