Todd Cole, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This scenic coastal portrait features a young woman seated casually among dark volcanic rocks at the edge of the water. She wears a heavily textured, patterned white knitted sweater paired with dark trousers, her body angled slightly toward the camera as she gazes outward. The composition uses a wide horizontal frame, capturing the soft, muted daylight reflecting off the gentle ocean waves in the background. Captured by photographer and director Todd Cole in Los Angeles, the image employs natural ambient lighting and a desaturated colour grade that enhances the moody, tranquil coastal atmosphere. The rugged textures of the dark stone contrast softly with the intricate weave of the knitted garment.
