Kendall Bessent, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This intimate, warm-toned portrait captured by photographer and director Kendall Bessent presents a close-up view of a Black person's neck and ear. The subject wears an ornate, textured silver hoop earring and a matching delicate chain necklace. Small white baby breath flowers are interspersed throughout the foreground and around the subject, creating a soft, tactile depth against the skin. The lighting is warm and directional, accentuating the rich skin tones and metallic textures. The composition employs a shallow depth of field, keeping the detailed jewellery and surrounding florals in sharp focus while the background dissolves into soft shadow.
