Description

This striking portrait features actress Tilda Swinton captured in a profile-turning-to-camera pose. She has slicked-back blonde hair with shaved sides and a serious expression. Swinton is wearing an off-white high-collared garment featuring a rigid metallic neck ring detail. The lighting is dramatic and directional, casting shadows across the left side of her face against a dark, textured background. The photograph was taken by João Canziani.
