Josefina Santos, Photographer, New York

About

This portrait photograph by Josefina Santos features a person posed in profile against a dark background. The subject has short, wavy hair dyed in vibrant shades of blue, green, and purple. They wear a long-sleeved patterned top in tones of blue and orange, complemented by a heavy ornate silver necklace, dangling earrings, and a wide metallic cuff bracelet. Their hands are clasped together resting on a dark horizontal surface, and a draped blue sequined fabric sits beside them on the right. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the contours of the face and the detailed textures of the jewelry and textiles.
