A close-up black and white photograph captures the lower half of a face with parted lips and a cigarette positioned at the corner of the mouth, rendered in dramatic chiaroscuro with deep shadows that emphasize contour and texture. The composition is tightly framed on the sensual geometry of the lips and the wisps of smoke, creating an intimate yet edgy portrait that evokes rebellion and introspection. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
