Description

This portrait by photographer Jessica Craig-Martin captures a young Black girl standing on a sandy beach near the ocean. She is wearing a white sleeveless dress adorned with colorful floral patterns and red butterfly prints, cinched with a green waistband. Her hands are gently lifting the layered white tulle underskirt, which catches the coastal breeze. The natural outdoor lighting highlights the textured fabric of the dress and the wet sand along the shoreline. The composition focuses on the upper and lower body against a backdrop of distant coastal foliage and calm water.
