Description

A close-up Polaroid portrait captures actor Nia Long looking directly into the camera for Self Magazine's feature, It's Nia Long's Moment—Again. She wears a structured dark jacket featuring a wide, peaked collar lined with vivid blue stripes. Her hair is styled slicked back from her face, accessorized with subtle stud earrings. The shot is lit with a direct flash against a textured, deep burgundy fabric background, framed by raw instant film borders and chemical transfer artifacts.
