Alex Byrne, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman with dramatic, highly teased voluminous hair framing her face. She gazes intensely toward the camera while holding a lit cigarette near her lower face, creating a moody and cinematic atmosphere. The high-contrast black-and-white lighting accentuates the contours of her face and the texture of her hair. Graphic typography reading rock star is repeated vertically down the left side of the frame. Make-up artistry is credited to Alex Byrne.
