Laure Dansou, Make-up Artist, Paris

Description

A close-up, monochrome photograph features a fragmented view of a human face in profile. The face is sectioned into three visible portions. Subtle textures and fine lines of the skin are visible. The photograph employs a limited range of tones from light grays to deep blacks, creating dramatic shadows and highlights that emphasize the contours of the face. The background is a solid, dark color that contrasts with the lighter tones of the skin, highlighting the three dimensional quality of the facial features.
