Lara Angelil, Photographer, London

Description

This striking black and white overhead photograph captured by London-based photographer Lara Angelil presents a high-angle perspective of a subject lying flat on a textured concrete surface. The person is dramatically intertwined with long strands of white cord that weave across their body and limbs. They wear a fitted top and skirt, with their limbs splayed in a dynamic, architectural composition. The harsh lighting casts subtle shadows, emphasizing the gritty texture of the floor and the smooth lines of the clothing and cord. The monochrome palette heightens the graphic contrast between the dark ground and the bright linear elements.
