Matthew Brookes, Photographer, Paris

Description

A portrait of a Black woman in her 20s seated on dark wooden boxes in a dimly lit studio environment directed by Matthew Brookes. She is wearing a coordinated pleated blue pantsuit with long sleeves and black pointed-toe heels. Her hands are clasped gently in her lap, and she looks directly toward the camera with a calm expression. The background features a dark grey paper sweep backdrop suspended on a stand, a small barred window letting in faint light on the left wall, and an old radiator beneath it. The color grading leans toward moody, cool tones with deep shadows across the room.
