Kate Powers, Photographer, New York

Description

This intimate monochrome close-up portrait features a Black woman with short hair smiling brightly with her eyes closed, framed by her hands as she holds the sides of her head. She wears a thick, textured white knit turtleneck sweater that frames her face closely. The composition is a tight vertical framing against a plain light background, emphasizing the joyful expression and tactile fabric details. Captured in New York and Los Angeles by photographer Kate Powers, the image employs high-contrast black-and-white grading to highlight skin luminosity and coarse yarn textures.
