Drew Vickers, Photographer, New York

Description

This extreme close-up portrait shot by photographer Drew Vickers focuses on a single blue eye being held wide open by hands with glossy bright red manicured fingernails. The subject wears dense, clumpy black mascara framing the eye, creating a striking textural contrast against the skin. Warm, direct lighting highlights the glossy finish of the nail polish and the damp, reflective quality of the skin. The composition fills the frame tightly, focusing entirely on the hands and the eye. The rich colour palette emphasises the vibrant red against natural skin tones and the cool blue iris.
