Rory Payne, Photographer, London

Description

A black and white portrait features an Asian woman wearing a large, black, wide-brimmed hat. She is holding a small photograph of a lipstick kiss in front of her mouth, partially obscuring her face. Her dark hair is straight and falls to her shoulders, with bangs partially covering her forehead. The woman gazes directly at the camera. The background is a textured, wavy white surface, creating a soft backdrop. The image is cropped tightly around the subject, enhancing the intimate feel. The overall tone is artistic and slightly mysterious, typical of portrait photography.
