Bethany Mccarty, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

About

An overhead portrait styled by make-up artist and fashion stylist Bethany Mccarty captures a woman lying flat on bright lime green artificial turf. She wears patterned tortoiseshell cat-eye optical glasses and a sleeveless patterned dress in warm autumnal tones. In each hand, she holds a vintage telephone receiver to her ears—a yellow handset on her right and a sky blue handset on her left, with curly coiled cords winding across the green background. Harsh direct lighting creates crisp shadows beneath her arms and cords, emphasizing the high-contrast graphic composition.
