Josefina Santos, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait features Olympic gymnast Simone Biles captured mid-action as she claps gymnastics chalk into her hands, creating a cloud of fine white dust suspended in the air. She wears a vibrant red athletic tank top over a dark layer, complemented by a delicate gold chain necklace and small hoop earrings. Her dark hair is styled up in a high topknot, and she maintains a direct, serious gaze toward the camera. The background consists of a rustic, industrial training environment with textured walls and atmospheric lighting. Photographer Josefina Santos captures the raw intensity and strength of the athlete in this powerful New York shoot.
