Kayla Varley, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This close-up portrait, photographed and directed by Kayla Varley, captures a joyful Black woman with her eyes tightly closed in a wide, expressive laugh. Her lips are finished with a dark, high-shine gloss that accentuates her smile, while warm, luminous makeup highlights her complexion. A vibrant magenta anthurium flower is tucked prominently into her dark, textured curly hair on the side of her head. The tight framing focuses intimately on her expression, utilizing soft natural lighting to create a warm and engaging aesthetic.
