John Elliott, Hair Stylist, Melbourne

Description

This striking monochrome beauty portrait captures a woman with light-colored, slicked-back hair and dramatic white paint strokes swept across her face and cheekbones. Her expression is intense as she gently touches her lower lip with her fingers. She wears a dark textured turtleneck and a structured dark garment. The lighting is moody and directional, casting deep shadows and highlighting the high-contrast tones of the composition. A subtle Vogue watermark appears in the bottom left corner.
