Description
A digital film still of Daniel Kaluuya, as the character W'Kabi, and Danai Gurira, as the character Okoye, on the set of the film Black Panther.
The two actors are standing next to each other on the right side of the image, with a film camera and camera operator facing them on the left side. Kaluuya is in the center. He has dotted scarification markings across his face from nose to temples. He wears an asymetrical chestplate of braided leather and mettalic gold over a greyish brown shirt wtih braided brown collar. A brown and black leather tunic wraps around his waist, with the gold handle of a sword visible on the proper left side. He also wears a textured, fingerless grey glove on his proper right hand with a sleeve that goes past his elbow. A basotho style blanket of blue with white linear markings on one side and a black and white houndstooth print on the other is just visible over his proper left shoulder.
Gurira is standing to Kaluuya's proper left side, with her proper left profile visible to the viewer, wearing a Dora Milaje costume. The costume consists of an orange and red fabric with dark brown leather bands around her shoulders, torso and hips. She wears gold armor plates on her shoulders and a necklace and arm bands of stacked gold rings in the style of the Ndebele tribe's idzila.
Both Kaluuya and Gurira look towards the film camera, which is held on proper right shoulder of the camera operator. Film equipment and the set is visible in the background.
