Brad Ogbonna, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait of singer Jazmine Sullivan serves as the digital cover for the Essence Festival of Culture issue, captured by photographer Brad Ogbonna in New York. The subject stands centrally, gazing forward with a serious expression, adorned in a black lace top with a high collar and sheer patterned sleeves. Dramatically voluminous white fabric with ruffled tiers is draped across the foreground, contrasting sharply against the dark garment. Her long black hair is braided down her back and decorated with sparkling pearl accents. Silver hoop earrings and long manicured nails complete the styling. The background features classic architectural details with large rectangular windows and columns on a building exterior. The magazine's title appears in bold pink letters across the top alongside digital cover text, with the subject's name prominently displayed in large white letters across the lower portion.
