Close-up portrait of a person's face illuminated by a harsh horizontal bar of bright red light across the eyes.

David Hughes, Photographer, London

About

This close-up photographic portrait by London-based photographer David Hughes captures a person's profile in dim lighting. A striking horizontal bar of intense red light cuts directly across the upper face, illuminating the closed eye and bridge of the nose. The coarse texture of the skin and individual eyelashes are rendered with sharp clarity within the illuminated zone. Deep shadows frame the glowing red band, creating high contrast and an intense mood.
