Lara Angelil, Photographer, London

Description

This striking studio portrait captured by photographer Lara Angelil features an elderly woman holding two white ceramic plates in front of her torso and face. The composition employs stark monochrome lighting, creating deep shadows and high-contrast gradients across the subject's dress and the plain studio background. The subject leans slightly forward with a contemplative expression, her arms crossed to support the circular dinnerware. The resulting image combines abstract sculptural forms with intimate portraiture in a high-contrast black and white aesthetic.
