This close-up photographic portrait features a person captured under intense red illumination, with hands raised to frame or touch the sides of their head. The lighting creates stark shadows and fiery red highlights across the face, emphasizing the expressive eyes and contours. Photographed by David Sims for the project Beyond Noise Issue 3: The Beauty Story, with hair styling by Duffy and makeup by Lucia Pieroni, the composition conveys a raw and striking mood.
