Description

This striking black-and-white silhouette portrait captures a woman in profile with her hand gently raised to touch her jawline. Her fingers feature elaborate, jeweled long nails and a prominent ring that catches the light against the dark contour of her hand. Her hair is styled in a high ponytail with a softly curled end. The composition relies on high-contrast lighting against a bright white background, emphasizing clean lines and graphic form. Photographed by Mary Ellen Matthews.
