The photograph is a black-and-white close-up of Rihanna's face. Her hair is wet and styled in a way that it looks as though it has been pulled back from her face. Her eyes are dark and her lips are slightly parted. There is a small hoop nose ring in her left nostril. The photograph is taken from a low angle, which makes Rihanna's cheekbones and jawline appear more prominent. The lighting is dramatic, with the light source coming from the right side of the frame. This creates a sense of chiaroscuro, which adds to the intensity of the photograph.
