David Sims, Photographer & Director, New York

Description

This striking monochrome fashion portrait was photographed by David Sims. The subject wears a sculptural, reflective metallic headpiece adorned with heavy fringe that partially obscures the face, complemented by a matching V-shaped metallic fringed trim across a dark garment. The lighting creates stark highlights and deep shadows across the textures of the fringe and the subject's features. The background consists of a neutral, plain studio surface with soft shadows cast from the figure. The image is rendered in a high-contrast black and white finish.
