Katsumi Matsuo, Hair Stylist, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black and white portrait features a woman with damp, textured hair styled by Katsumi Matsuo in Los Angeles. She wears a structured, buttoned jacket adorned with heavy beadwork or jewel embellishments along the collar and waistline. Her expression is thoughtful and distant as she gazes slightly upward, resting her hand near a vertical metallic railing or beam in the foreground. The background is dark and softly out of focus, with circular bokeh highlights suggesting night lights or an urban environment. The monochrome grading emphasizes high contrast, sharp details on the garment, and deep shadows.
