Rhys Frampton, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait photograph features a Black woman wearing a dark cloak, posed against a dark grey wall in a moody, low-key setting. A distinct diagonal beam of harsh light strikes across the upper frame, illuminating her face and the top of her shoulder while the rest of the composition remains in deep shadow. Her expression is serious and direct as she looks toward the camera with her hands clasped softly in front of her. The overall aesthetic is dramatic and intimate, emphasizing texture and stark tonal contrast. Captured by photographer Rhys Frampton in London.
