Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

About

This black and white portrait features elite gymnast Simone Biles posing in profile against a neutral, textured studio backdrop. She has her hair slicked back and wears a dark athletic leotard, with her right arm raised and hand resting near the back of her head. The lighting softly sculpts her physique, highlighting muscular definition and an introspective, focused expression. Captured by photographer Mark Seliger in New York, the image employs a classic monochromatic aesthetic and shallow depth of field. The stark contrast and muted tones emphasize form and texture within the composition.
