Wayne Lawrence, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Wayne Lawrence features a Black woman in her 20s standing on a sandy beach with the ocean visible in the background. Her long braided hair is styled in shades of pink, cascading down her shoulder and gently blowing in the wind. She wears a sleeveless brown velvet dress with thin straps. The lighting is natural and diffuse, highlighting the coastal environment and the texture of her hair and dress. The composition captures her in a three-quarter length shot against the natural backdrop of the shore.
