Rafael Pavarotti, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochromatic studio portrait, captured by photographer Rafael Pavarotti, features two black female models standing side-by-side and holding hands. Both subjects wear voluminous mid-century style updos, fitted short-sleeve knit tops, flared skirts, dark hosiery, and pointed-toe block heels. The full-length composition is set against a textured neutral background with subtle grain. The lighting emphasizes the sculptural silhouettes of the garments and the dramatic architectural styling of the hair.
