Description
This extreme macro beauty portrait captures a detailed close-up of an eye with rich brown irises, dark voluminous eyelashes, and distinct brows. The heavily textured composition features visible reddish-brown hair strands across the forehead and a pronounced film grain texture overlaying the entire frame. Natural shadow tones create depth around the eye contour, highlighting the intricate details of the skin and hair. Created for Heroine Magazine under the Apply Yourself project, with hair styling by Christos Bairabas, makeup by Machiko Yano, casting by Edward Kim, and model Erika Barletta.
