Matthew Rolston, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait features singer Cyndi Lauper adorned in an extraordinarily large, ornate jeweled headdress featuring intricate hanging crystals and filigree metalwork. She is draped in multiple layers of pearl necklaces, bead strands, and heavy metallic bracelets on both wrists. Her expression is poised and direct, framed by styled blonde hair and dramatic vintage makeup. The high-contrast studio lighting sculpts her features and catches the brilliant facets of the rhinestone-studded headpiece. Captured against a solid black background by photographer Matthew Rolston, the image exudes an opulent and theatrical aesthetic.
