Sandro, Photographer, Chicago

Description

This striking portrait features a Black woman with voluminous, textured bright orange hair styled with small Bantu knots at the front. The image uses dramatic, high-contrast lighting that renders the face in monochrome tones with deep shadows, isolating the subject against a solid black background. Her gaze is directed towards the camera with a neutral, steady expression. The composition is a vertical close-up focusing on her head and shoulders, highlighting the striking contrast between the vibrant orange hair and the dark surroundings. Photographed by Sandro in Chicago.
