This striking portrait merges urban vibrance with bold fashion. The deep violet sweater contrasts beautifully with the bold red sunglasses, creating an image that radiates confidence and individuality. I love how the soft light enhances the subject’s features while the blurred cityscape provides a dynamic yet understated backdrop to this bold look.
This image is featured in The Melbourne Portraits Project: A Photographic Ode, a photo book celebrating the stories and creative spirit of Melbourne, available on my website (link below). The project invites you to explore moments like this—fleeting, layered, and deeply human—through the lens of artistry and emotion.
