Richard Phibbs, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking editorial portrait by photographer Richard Phibbs features a Black female model posed against an ornate, vintage-style patterned tapestry. She wears a flowing sage green silk dress with a gathered neckline and high slit. Two exceptionally large, weathered dried lotus leaves are mounted on slender stems to frame her head and shoulders, acting as an organic parasol structure. Her expression is calm and direct, with her dark hair neatly swept back. The lighting is soft and warm, accentuating the glossy sheen of the fabric and the intricate textures of the dried leaves and tapestry background.
