Description

A vivid close-up beauty portrait of model Amaka Okafor smiling against a rich blue backdrop. The tight crop focuses on her cheek, nose, and parted lips adorned with a subtle lilac sheen, revealing white teeth in a candid smile. In the lower left foreground, a glossy yellow prop enters the frame at an angle. High-contrast directional lighting defines her facial contours with deep shadows and clean specular highlights. Photographed by Jon Gorrigan with beauty direction by Kim Brown for Glass Magazine's 'Shine On' editorial.
