Paul Kooiker, Photographer, London

Description

A monochrome photograph captures a person from behind, their identity obscured by long hair with horizontal black and white stripes. The hair extends down to the mid-thigh. The subject wears gloves that reach the mid-forearm and minimal light-colored clothing. The backdrop is a mottled grey, suggesting a studio setting. The lighting is soft and diffused. The subject stands on what appears to be a layered surface covered with paper, creating a textured foreground. The overall composition is minimalist, with a focus on the visual texture and form of the hair and clothing.
