Description

A close-up studio portrait shows a woman with strawberry blonde, wavy hair, and fair skin. The woman is smiling and looking directly at the camera. She has an orthopaedic face gear that attaches to a rubber head strap and appears to widen her mouth and draw it forwards. The woman's fingers, decorated with flame nail art, are gently placed under the gear. The backdrop is a solid, dark black, and the lighting is soft and diffused, with hints of yellow and orange in her hair.
