Ssam Kim, Seoul

Description

This striking black-and-white studio portrait features a woman with an expansive, highly textured afro hairstyle that frames her head and shoulders in a sculptural silhouette. She is captured from the chest up with bare shoulders, her head tilted slightly upward and eyes closed in a serene, composed expression. The lighting is soft and directional, accentuating the contours of her collarbones, neck, and facial structure with subtle highlights and deep shadows. The background is a solid, neutral grey gradient that keeps the focus entirely on the subject and her expressive hair texture.
