Studio portrait of a striking woman with freckled olive skin and two heavy plaited ropes of hair against a tangerine seamless ground at full saturation, evenly lit, matte and grainless, filling the frame behind her. The ground is lit on its own and she is lit separately by one large soft neutral source, so her skin stays its own colour throughout and carries the ground hue nowhere. Her head is high in the frame, turned to a near profile with her eyes coming back to the lens. Brushed up and left unfilled with fine visible texture and one small mole held sharp, her hair long fine braids gathered behind one shoulder, a matte black garment filling the lower third, and a flat bangle worn high on the upper arm as the one worn metal object. A russet lip. Cool and evaluating, looking back at the lens, mouth closed and completely composed.
