Cass Bird, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome studio portrait features Queen Latifah posing in a plush dark coat with a textured finish. Her right arm is extended upward with her index finger pointing toward the top of the frame, conveying a powerful and resolute expression. The lighting creates subtle gradations on her face and the heavy fabric of the coat against a plain gradient background. Captured in New York by photographer Cass Bird, the composition relies on strong tonal contrast and vertical framing.
