Prakrit Rai, Photographer, Mumbai

Description

This black and white monochrome portrait captures a woman with short dark hair and bangs tilting her head back with her eyes closed. She wears a detailed white crocheted top with an open neckline. Stark directional light cuts across her face and neck, creating sharp highlights and deep shadows. Her neck and collarbone area feature subtle dotted tattoo marks, and she wears a septum piercing in her nose. The background consists of a textured fabric backdrop with visible folds and a harsh diagonal shadow line cast across the left side. The composition is vertical with a grainy analog film texture.
