Charlie De Keersmaecker, Photographer, Paris

Description

A close-up black and white portrait of a bald individual posing with their hands pressed against their cheeks. Bold, thick black paint marks curve across the forehead, around the eyes, and down the side of the face. The subject wears a heavily textured, fringed garment around the neck. The background is completely dark, creating high contrast and focusing attention on the striking facial markings and expressive hand placement.
