About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a woman’s face and shoulders. She wears a patterned blouse with a high collar and a dark scarf wrapped loosely around her neck. The lighting is soft, leaving her face mostly in shadow except for her eyes and forehead. The photo looks like it was taken indoors, maybe near a window. The edges of the frame are slightly uneven, giving it a handmade feel. Check out chiaroscuro to learn about this lighting trick.
