Nikki Nelms, Hair Stylist, New York

Description

From the back, an adult woman faces away from the viewer. Her dark skin is visible at the shoulders and upper back. The subject's hair is styled in neat black braids that cascade down her back. Adding a playful, colourful accent, many of these braids are adorned with spools of brightly coloured thread, giving a rainbow effect. Strands of thread hang loosely from the spools of thread. The background is a solid light blue, offering a clean, simple backdrop that focuses attention on the subject and her unique hairstyle. The lighting is soft and even, which highlights the textures of both the hair and the threads.
