Joshua Pestka, Photographer, New York

Description

This extreme close-up beauty portrait by photographer Joshua Pestka highlights the face of a Black model with textured skin and subtle freckles. Her lips are shaped into an O-expression, coated in a matte mauve lipstick, while a finger rests gently near the corner of her mouth. Her eyes are cast upward with heavy black winged eyeliner and a sparkling layer of silver glitter along the lower lash line. The lighting is crisp and warm, accentuating the natural texture of the skin and the details of the makeup against a dark background.
