Maria Salandra, Nail Artist, Los Angeles

Description

This dramatic black and white editorial portrait captures singer Rihanna posing with a lit cigarette held in a hand featuring dark, pointed manicured nails by nail artist Maria Salandra. She wears a textured houndstooth or patterned coat draped off one shoulder, complemented by a thick metallic choker necklace with a cross pendant and multiple rings. Her dark hair is styled in an edgy, voluminous updo with short bangs framing her face, and her expression is intense and sidelong. The monochrome studio lighting creates high-contrast shadows across the composition, highlighting the texture of the garments and the metallic accessories.
