Laury Smith, Fashion Stylist, Los Angeles

Description

This black and white portrait features an older woman with voluminous blonde hair seated on the floor, wearing a dark, elegant off-the-shoulder gown that spreads out around her. Her chin rests on her hands with her fingers intertwined, and she gazes directly forward with a serious, poised expression. The studio lighting casts soft highlights on her face and hair while leaving parts of the textured backdrop in shadow, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. The word OUT is visible in large capital letters in the upper right corner of the frame. Fashion styling for the shoot is credited to Laury Smith.
