Jake Chessum, Photographer, New York

About

This portrait by photographer Jake Chessum features an East Asian woman seated against an intricately patterned backdrop composed of numerous decorative plates featuring gold, blue, and white baroque designs. She wears a white graphic t-shirt layered over a white corset, golden textured trousers, and striking pink lace-up boots with dark soles. The subject sits on a black-and-white patterned blanket bearing a repeated circular emblem. The lighting is direct, creating sharp reflections and defined shadows across the textured surfaces and reflective elements in the frame.
