Andrea Huelse, Prop Stylist, Los Angeles

Description

A striking portrait features a woman standing within an ornate oval gold frame against a deep blue patterned background. The subject wears a dark jacket with a dramatic, pointed white lace collar and layered gold necklaces, captured with serious expression and styled hair. The composition mimics a classical painted portrait with dramatic low-key lighting highlighting the textures of the fabric and the gilded metal of the frame. Prop stylist and set designer Andrea Huelse created this elaborately staged environment in Los Angeles.
