About

This extreme close-up beauty portrait focuses intimately on the face of a model, captured by photographer Joshua Pestka. The composition highlights sharp, precision-applied black winged eyeliner that extends dramatically past the outer corners of the eyes. The subject has visible natural skin texture dotted with numerous freckles across the bridge of the nose and cheeks. Her lips are painted in a rich red shade with a defined cupid's bow, slightly parted to reveal white teeth. The lighting is soft and even, accentuating the cosmetic details and smooth contours of the skin.
