Aart Verrips, Photographer, Cape Town

About

This striking portrait features a close-up shot of a model whose face, neck, and hair are entirely coated in a matte white finish. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are similarly dusted white, creating a stark contrast against large, dark, obsidian-like contacts filling her eyes. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the smooth contours of her facial structure with minimal shadow play. Shot against a neutral, monochromatic backdrop by photographer Aart Verrips in Cape Town, the image employs a clean, minimalist aesthetic that focuses entirely on textural and chromatic transformation.
