Louise Samuelsen, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Louise Samuelsen features a close-up composition divided into two stacked film frames, bordered by dark film sprocket holes and a central vertical scratch line. A woman with clear skin, subtle freckles, and braided hair wears vibrant crimson red lipstick and a classic white pearl necklace. In both frames, she holds her hand up across her face, partially veiling her features while maintaining a direct gaze at the camera. The lighting is soft and even against a clean, neutral background, highlighting the rich gloss of the lipstick and the lustrous texture of the pearls. The analogue film framing creates a vintage aesthetic that emphasizes the striking facial composition and vibrant colour contrast.
