Katsu Naito, Photographer, London

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by photographer Katsu Naito features a black woman with a complex and avant-garde hairstyle. Numerous long, thin braids cascade down across her face and head, adorned with small silver beads at intervals. Her expression is direct and calm as she gazes toward the camera against a neutral, softly lit background. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the rich textures of the hair and the smooth contours of her skin. The tight framing focuses intently on her face and shoulders, highlighting the sculptural quality of the hairstyle.
