Melanie + Ramon, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait features a person wearing an exceptionally elaborate sculptural hairstyle that has been shaped into a wide, flattened disk atop the head, centered with a precise woven braid. The subject is captured from the shoulders up against a creased, light-colored fabric backdrop, casting a sharp shadow. The lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the fine texture of the hair strands and the smooth contours of the neck and shoulders. The image exhibits strong monochromatic contrast with rich tones and fine grain. Art direction is by Melanie plus Ramon.
