About

This striking portrait captures a woman framed by a voluminous, glossy black puffer jacket and a dark structured hat. Shot in monochrome with visible film borders, the image highlights sharp facial features, a centered parting in her dark hair, and a direct gaze toward the camera. The minimalist composition utilizes dramatic lighting to emphasize the reflective texture of the outerwear. Photographed by Matthew Priestley, the portrait merges editorial sophistication with raw intimacy.
