Etienne Ortega, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features singer Christina Aguilera posing in a glossy patent leather jacket. Her wet-look blonde hair frames her face as she grasps the collar of her jacket, creating a dramatic and textured composition. The lighting is low-key and high-contrast, casting deep shadows that emphasize the glossy finish of the outerwear and the sharp contours of her features. Professional makeup by Etienne Ortega accentuates her eyes and lips with a polished finish. In the bottom right corner, the Billboard logo is subtly visible.
