Mariya Pepelanova, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking fashion portrait by photographer Mariya Pepelanova captures a Black woman with voluminous dark curly hair posing against a dramatic gradient background of soft white and vivid purple tones. She wears a draped black halter top with a knotted front detail paired with high-waisted purple trousers that catch the light with a subtle sheen. The lighting casts sharp, elongated shadows on the backdrop, creating depth and a dynamic silhouette. Her expression is direct and intense, looking straight into the camera lens with a confident posture. The color palette centers on rich violet and deep black contrasts, emphasizing the sharp tailoring and sleek textures of the garments.
