Kanya Iwana, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochromatic portrait features a woman with her eyes closed, exuding a serene and emotive expression. She wears a heavily textured, feathered garment that frames her shoulders, adding dramatic volume and tactile depth to the composition. Delicate jewelry, including earrings and a ring, subtly catches the light. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, casting deep shadows that sculpt her features and create a moody, timeless aesthetic. Captured by photographer Kanya Iwana in New York, the image emphasizes rich tonal contrast and intimate cinematic framing.
