Mary Ellen Matthews, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking portrait features Zoë Kravitz posed with large, feathered angel wings extending behind her shoulders against a dark, moody background. She gently holds a wooden lute across her body, with one hand near the soundhole and the other along the long fretboard. Her gaze is directed upward and slightly to the side with a calm expression, and short dark hair frames her face. Tattoos are visible on her right arm. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the wooden texture of the instrument and the detailed feathers of the wings. The photograph was captured by Mary Ellen Matthews.
