Description
This striking black-and-white portrait features a Black woman with a voluminous, textured afro that partially casts shadows across her face.

The composition is framed with classic film borders showing Kodak 400TX markings at the top. Photographed by Martin Vallin in New York, the image emphasizes high-contrast monochromatic tones and natural textural depth.
