Kayla Varley, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking photographic close-up captures a Black woman in profile with her eyes gently closed and head tilted back, framed against a plain neutral background. Her long, dark box braids fan out dramatically in mid-motion around her face and head. She wears a vibrant shade of matte red lipstick that contrasts sharply with her warm skin tone. A minimalist circular gold earring hangs from her earlobe, featuring a small embedded green stone accent. The soft, diffuse lighting accentuates the smooth contours of her face, neck, and shoulders. The image was captured by photographer and director Kayla Varley.
