Karima Asaad, Photographer, Sydney

Description

A close portrait captured by photographer Karima Asaad features a woman holding a small round vintage hand mirror up to her face. Within the reflection of the mirror, a miniature group portrait of multiple individuals is clearly visible. The subject wears a striped top with off-the-shoulder styling and has her hair tied up in a bun with blunt bangs across her forehead. Her eyes are closed as she carefully holds the small frame. The background shows a warm, softly lit bedroom interior with an ornate dark wooden headboard against an orange-toned wall and a framed picture hanging above. The lighting is natural and intimate, accentuating the warm color grading and analog film texture of the scene.
