Jouk Oosterhof, Photographer, Sydney

Description

A close-up portrait of a young Black woman with long, dark box braids gathered up with two loose strands framing her face. She wears a simple black turtleneck and small silver hoop earrings, gazing directly forward with a calm and direct expression. The lighting creates subtle highlights across her facial features against a dark, neutral background. The composition is tightly cropped, focusing entirely on the subject's expression and styling. Captured by photographer Jouk Oosterhof in Sydney.
