Matthew Priestley, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking editorial photograph by Matthew Priestley features a Black model posing outdoors with both arms raised behind her head, creating a dynamic silhouette. She is wearing a dark, heavily textured blue hooded garment that drapes over her head and shoulders, paired with a matching structured blue skirt adorned with looped embellishments at the waist. The lighting is bright and natural, casting soft shadows against a clear, light-toned background. The composition employs a vertical framing that emphasizes the dramatic lines of the model's pose and the tactile quality of the garments. Film border markings are visible along the right edge of the frame, hinting at an analog capture method.
