Kristina Varaksina, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait photograph by Kristina Varaksina features a bald Black person in London, captured from the chest up against a plain neutral background. The subject is wearing a dark grey pinstripe blazer over a plain white t-shirt, accessorised with multiple silver rings, a nose ring, and a small wrist tattoo visible on the left arm. Both index fingers are used to physically pull the corners of the mouth wide into a forced, playful smile. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of the pinstripe fabric and the clean, direct composition of the studio shot.
