Portrait of Simone Biles clapping chalk into her hands in an industrial training space, captured by photographer Josefina Santos

Josefina Santos, Photographer, New York

About

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.
