Kendall Bessent, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Kendall Bessent in Los Angeles features a black woman with a dramatic, highly sculpted voluminous updo hairstyle. She is captured in a posed, reclining stance, wearing a long-sleeved fitted dress. Her wrists and fingers are adorned with heavy stacked metallic bracelets and rings, echoing the sculptural aesthetic of her hair. An ear cuff accents her ear. The monochrome-toned lighting creates soft gradients and deep shadows across her form against a dark background.
