Etienne Ortega, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black and white editorial portrait features singer Christina Aguilera posing in a patterned interior setting, holding a fan of dollar bills upward with a dramatic expression. She wears an elaborately textured, embellished robe with dark patterned undergarments and fishnet stockings, seated on a patterned bed. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes sharp highlights and deep shadows across her voluminous blonde hair, winged eye makeup, and dark lips. Gold typography overlays the top and bottom of the frame, including the title Galore and credits for makeup artist Etienne Ortega. The composition is framed within a decorative red-bordered border inside a black background.
