Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

A woman poses outdoors wearing a full-length, long-sleeved, black textured coat and black heeled boots. The coat has a distinct chevron pattern and a slight opening at the front, revealing matching pants. The boots are pointed and appear to have embellishments. She is wearing large, sculptural gold earrings, and her hair is slicked back, complementing her dark lipstick. The backdrop is a bright, undulating white landscape suggestive of snow dunes or a quarry. The lighting is diffused, creating a high-key, editorial feel. The photograph is shot at eye level.
