About

This vertical portrait features a Black woman from behind, standing with her hands on her hips while delicately balancing a transparent glass filled with water on her short, dark hair. She wears a form-fitting, sleeveless pink patterned tank top with cutout knit details along the back and sides. The subject is positioned against a softly draped, white fabric backdrop that creates gentle folds and vertical lines. The lighting is bright and diffuse, highlighting the rich skin tones and the smooth lines of her shoulders and back. Art direction by Melanie and Ramon.
