Description from the seller

Title of the work:

JD Paris - #1 - Empress

Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm

Description

Empress — sovereign of the shadow

The gaze is direct, imperious, unforgettable.
In this black and white portrait, the female figure rises to the status of an icon. Every detail — jewelry, ornament, texture — creates a visual ritual where beauty becomes power.

The jewelry seems drawn directly on the skin, like sacred signs. The face, perfectly sculpted by light, oscillates between softness and authority, mystery and mastery. Nothing is left to chance: symmetry, contrast, and the depth of the gaze establish a solemn silence, almost ceremonial.

The absence of color enhances the timeless quality of the image. This empress could belong to a mythical past, an imaginary future, or a waking dream. She cannot be defined — she asserts her presence.

A work at the crossroads of fashion photography, contemporary portraiture, and visual mythology.
Powerful, magnetic, sovereign.

No AI used. Authentic and artistic photography.

Seller's Story

JD ‒ Paris is a photographer and digital painter whose work explores light, emotion, and human presence at the heart of everyday life. Her images, at the crossroads of poetic realism and digital creation, reveal the fragile beauty of suspended moments. Inspired by masters such as Robert Doisneau, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Annie Leibovitz and Vivian Maier, JD ‒ Paris develops a unique visual style: both intimate and contemporary, deeply rooted in urban sensibility. Her compositions are distinguished by a subtle mastery of light and reflections, where each print becomes a space for contemplation and dialogue between shadow and radiance. Throughout the 2010s, the artist presented his works at several exhibitions in partnership with Parisian town halls as well as in restaurants and cultural venues, thus affirming his desire to make art accessible to as many people as possible. Today, JD ‒ Paris continues its exploration of photography and digital painting through signed and numbered works, produced in limited editions. Each piece invites the viewer to enter a visual universe where light tells stories, between memory, emotion and modernity.
