Filomena Natoli, Make-up Artist, Sydney

Description

A close-up portrait features a dark-skinned adult female gazing slightly upwards. Abstract blue paint is applied to her neck and upper chest. She wears a gold choker necklace. The background is a stark white, accented by a horizontal band of yellow at the top edge of the frame. The image is lit with soft, diffused light, highlighting the textures of the skin. The camera angle is slightly low, emphasizing the subject's facial features. The framing is tight, focusing on the woman's face, bare shoulders and neck and minimizing distractions.
