Miles Aldridge, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait by photographer Miles Aldridge features a Black woman centered in the frame, wearing a soft pink head covering and a plunging peach-colored dress. She has dark, flowing hair and delicate gold jewelry, including a thin necklace with a pendant and small decorative teardrops beneath her eyes. In her hands, she holds a pair of white lily flowers with long green stems on one side and a gleaming silver dagger on the other, positioned just above an open, highly ornate gold book resting in the foreground. The background consists of a deeply textured, rich green patterned fabric backdrop. The lighting is deliberate and saturated, creating dramatic highlights and rich color contrast across the composition.
