Matthew Brookes, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking black and white portrait features a woman with voluminous, wavy hair cascading over her shoulder, captured with her head tilted back in a dynamic, expressive pose. She wears a dark, sleeveless dress with soft draping across the bodice, accented by small hoop earrings. The lighting creates subtle highlights along her jawline and arms against a dark background, emphasizing texture and form. Directed by Matthew Brookes, the monochrome composition balances elegance with a sense of motion. The high-contrast tones accentuate the rich textures of her hair and fabric.
