Lara Callahan, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking close-up beauty portrait captures a Black woman with her chin resting gently on her hands, gazing slightly upward and to the side. Her makeup features vivid, highly pigmented blue eyeshadow sweeping across her eyelids, complemented by reddish tones along the brow line. An intricate, sculptural braided hairstyle towers above her head with distinct looped extensions framing the sides. The soft studio lighting highlights the rich texture of her dark hair and skin against a muted gradient backdrop. Photographed by Lara Callahan in New York, the composition focuses intensely on facial symmetry, bold cosmetic art direction, and textural detail.
