Description

This diptych photographic portrait features actress Noomi Rapace captured in a dramatic black and white style. On the left, she is shown in profile holding a lit cigarette with rising smoke, wearing a studded beret and a dark open blazer. On the right, she faces forward with her chin resting on her hand, displaying defined eye makeup styled by Alex Byrne. The lighting is low-key, casting soft highlights across her face and the satin lapels of her jacket. The composition is set against a dark, minimalist background.
