Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features actress Tessa Thompson posing within a studio corner against a seamless paper backdrop. She wears a striking, voluminous circular structured black dress that fans out dramatically around her. Her long braided hair cascades down past her shoulders as she raises her arms in a graceful, expressive pose. The lighting is clean and directional, casting subtle shadows that emphasize the architectural folds of the garment and the high-contrast monochrome aesthetic. The image was captured by photographer Ruven Afanador.
