Description

This close-up portrait, photographed by Bertram Knight, features a bald Black woman with her eyes closed, basking in warm dappled sunlight filtering through tropical foliage. She wears a light-wash denim jacket with visible texture, and a small metallic hoop earring is visible on her ear. The golden hour lighting casts contrasting light and shadow across her face and collarbone, highlighting her features. The shallow depth of field keeps the background foliage softly blurred, emphasizing the subject.
