Shaniqwa Jarvis, New York

Description

A striking portrait by photographer Shaniqwa Jarvis features a Black woman seated and gazing directly toward the camera with a calm expression. She wears a textured yellow short-sleeve polo shirt paired with black leather trousers. Her dark hair is styled into elaborate, sculptural box braids that frame her face and head in unique geometric shapes. The lighting is soft and warm, highlighting the tactile qualities of her knit top and glossy leather pants. She is seated against a muted, mottled brown studio backdrop.
