Michael Baumgarten, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking portrait captures a model in profile with high-contrast avant-garde beauty styling by photographer Michael Baumgarten. The subject features elaborate, sculpted brown hair forming a wave crown atop the head, complemented by graphic black eyeliner, painted minimalist eyebrow lines, and striking black lipstick. A sharp black geometric triangle is painted across the side of the head and ear, creating a surreal visual effect against pale skin. The lighting is focused and clean, casting soft shadows that emphasize the sharp architectural lines of the makeup and hair. The composition is set against a dark background, creating a moody and dramatic atmosphere.
