Zeynep Özkanca, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This striking monochrome portrait captured by photographer Zeynep Özkanca in Istanbul presents a low-angle shot of a woman looking thoughtfully upward. Her dark hair is caught slightly in a breeze, with loose strands framing her face against a bright, featureless sky. She wears a collared shirt and a light-colored headscarf tied behind her head. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes the sharp contours of her jawline and features, lending an editorial quality to the composition. The stark lighting and intimate framing highlight the textures of her clothing and hair.
