Xavier Scott Marshall, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking editorial portrait by photographer Xavier Scott Marshall features a Black model with a shaved head wearing an avant-garde, heavily padded red dress with exaggerated rounded shapes at the chest and hips. The model is posed against a raw concrete wall that shows industrial texture and bolt holes. One arm is raised high against the wall while the other hand rests across the chest. The lighting casts a distinct shadow to the right, and a blue lens flare appears in the lower foreground. The image has a moody, tactile aesthetic highlighting the dramatic contrast between the organic skin tones, the vibrant red textile, and the industrial gray background.
