Bérengère Valognes, Photographer, Paris

Description

This extreme close-up portrait, photographed by Bérengère Valognes in Paris, frames the central features of a woman face in intimate detail. Fine strands of blonde hair sweep dynamically across the bridge of the nose and forehead, partially obscuring the eyes and skin texture. The composition emphasizes natural skin pores, subtle freckles, and light catchlights in the eyes. Dark red lipstick defines the lower edge of the frame, contrasting sharply with the pale tones of the face and hair. The lighting is soft and diffuse, accentuating the tactile qualities of hair and skin.
