Silja Magg, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features a blonde woman smiling with her eyes closed, her hand gently touching her cheek as her long hair blows across her face. She wears a buttoned utility-style shirt with layered detailing and a high collar. The lighting is soft and directional, creating smooth tonal gradients across her clothing and face. The background is a plain, neutral studio surface that keeps the focus entirely on the subject. Captured by photographer Silja Magg, the image has a candid, spontaneous feel.
