Xavier Scott Marshall, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical portrait photograph by Xavier Scott Marshall captures a child in the foreground whose face is entirely blown out and overexposed by direct flash lighting, highlighting curly hair. In the dark background, a second smaller figure stands in profile wearing a pink dress. The nighttime setting features dark skies and distant silhouettes under harsh illumination. The direct on-camera flash creates stark shadows and a high-contrast aesthetic.
