Rafael Pavarotti, Photographer, New York

Description

An elegant, slender, Black woman reclines on a couch draped with gray fabric. She is reading a small book, resting her head back with one arm raised. She wears a light t-shirt and gray skirt, with dark stockings and pointed black shoes. Additional books and a dark, shiny purse rest at the foot of the couch. The image has a shallow depth of field and is lit with even, soft light. The mood is quiet and contemplative. The setting appears to be a photo studio.
