Tarek Mawad, Photographer, London

About

This striking monochrome photographic portrait captured by photographer Tarek Mawad in London presents a subject seated on a carved wooden chair within a richly appointed historic interior. The figure wears an elaborate black dress paired with a dramatic pleated ruff collar framing the face, along with dark heeled shoes and sheer gloves. A decorative walking cane is held upright beside the chair. The background features ornate patterned wallpaper, wood-paneled wainscoting, carved architectural columns, and a framed traditional painting hanging above. The lighting and monochromatic tone create a moody, theatrical atmosphere.
