Anthony Arquier, Photographer, Paris

Description

This close-up beauty portrait by Paris-based photographer Anthony Arquier focuses tightly on the face of a Black woman. Her makeup features shimmering purple eyeshadow, voluminous dark eyelashes, and lustrous dark metallic plum lipstick. A delicate silver-toned double nose ring adorns her septum and nostril. The lighting creates sharp highlights across the bridge of her nose and cheekbones, accentuating her skin texture against a dark, moody background.
