Vertical Macro of Intricate Dark Curl Texture

Vertical macro photograph of dark, glossy curly hair, an ultra-close-up revealing the intricate texture of natural curls. The frame is vertical, with curls cascading along the length and ranging from tight ringlets to looser spirals. Shallow depth of field isolates the hair against a soft, muted background. Soft natural light from the side produces bright highlights on the curls and deep shadows in between strands, emphasizing moisture, shine, and curl definition. Color palette: deep blacks, espresso browns, and hints of midnight blue. Cinematic, editorial quality with an intimate, tactile feel.
