Amiee Hershan, Hair Stylist, Sydney

Description

A black and white studio diptych features a woman's face distorted by rubber bands. In the primary image, the woman's eyes are closed, and her facial features are pulled and stretched by multiple rubber bands, creating an abstract effect. Her hair is styled in a messy updo with some strands pulled into small ponytails. A smaller inset image shows the same woman with her mouth open, seemingly in a yell, with rubber bands similarly distorting her face. The background is a solid, neutral gray, which contrasts with the bright skin and dark tones of the rubber bands and hair. The image is evenly lit, with a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus on the woman's face, and there are subtle signs of post-production to enhance the textures and contrast.
