Matthew Brookes, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman seated on a vintage wooden chair against a dark, textured background. She wears a voluminous dark satin blouse with a dramatic collar and fitted trousers, gazing directly into the camera with a poised expression. Her hair is styled in loose waves, catching subtle highlights that contrast with the deep shadows of the scene. The lighting is moody and directional, carving out the contours of her face and the glossy texture of the silk fabric. Captured in black and white by director Matthew Brookes, the composition relies on dramatic contrast and classical framing.
