Nisha Van Berkel, Make-up Artist, Sydney

About

A close-up fashion portrait captures a model posing directly toward the camera against a neutral pale background. The model wears a fitted brown leather jacket featuring prominent shoulder structure, contrast topstitching, and vertical rows of circular cut-outs secured by metal hardware down the front. The jacket is left open at the midsection, revealing a red skirt below. The subject has long, dark, straight hair framing the face, and features distinctive white powder highlighting high on the cheekbones, styled by makeup artist Nisha Van Berkel. The direct flash lighting creates sharp shadows and highlights against the textured surface of the leather garment.
