Ben Hassett, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking portrait features actor and singer Billy Porter photographed by Ben Hassett for an Allure magazine cover in Paris. The subject is depicted from the chest up against a vibrant solid yellow background, wearing a rich magenta blazer with an embellished jeweled brooch. His face is dramatically styled with green and teal makeup and elaborate, colorful geometric paper art sculptures radiating above his eyebrows. Bold white typography overlays the composition, including the Allure magazine masthead at the top and the cover lines Billy Porter and The Art of Beauty. The lighting is bright and clean, casting sharp definition across the facial features and highlighting the intricate textures of the avant-garde paper details.
