Nwaka Okparaeke, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait photograph by London-based photographer Nwaka Okparaeke captures a close-up angle of a Black woman with her eyes closed, adorned with colourful star stickers on her cheek and nose. She wears a reflective sequined top and large red earrings that catch the light. Her voluminous dark hair frames the composition against a moody coastal background showing rocky formations and water under an overcast sky. The low-angle perspective creates an intimate, ethereal mood with soft lighting and natural tones.
