Paul Schmidt, Photographer, Paris

Description

This close-up photographic portrait captures a black woman in profile, shot from behind the shoulder in Paris by photographer Paul Schmidt. She has her hair styled in neat cornrows, revealing the side of her face and neck under warm, directional lighting that creates a deep shadow behind her ear. She wears a dark tweed jacket featuring a heavily textured fabric woven with multicolored threads and an ornate sequined and beaded collar. The background is simple and neutral, keeping the focus entirely on the intricate textures of her hairstyle, the tailored garment, and the play of light across her skin.
