Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait features a young woman looking directly into the lens with an intense gaze. Her dark eye makeup and voluminous false eyelashes stand out prominently against her face, accompanied by circular hoop earrings. The heavy film grain texture and high-contrast monochrome aesthetic lend a raw, timeless quality to the composition. Captured by photographer Mel Bles as part of the Family Portrait project, the tightly framed shot focuses entirely on facial expression and texture.
