Crystalle Cox, Fashion Stylist, London

Description

This portrait features athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson posed centrally against a stark, solid black background for a magazine cover. She wears a striking, sculptural white dress constructed from heavily textured, ruffled fabric that rises around her neck like a high collar. Her arms are held slightly away from her body in a balanced stance, and she is barefoot. The lighting is focused and dramatic, illuminating her form against the dark ground while leaving the edges in deep shadow. Styled by Crystalle Cox, the image is part of a special women of the year issue with bold serif typography framing the composition.
