Mariya Pepelanova, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking macro portrait shot by photographer Mariya Pepelanova in Paris features an extreme close-up of a person's face. Glossy black paint is splattered and patterned across the skin, creating bold abstract shapes around the cheek, nose, and brow. The composition highlights textured skin details, natural pores, and individual hairs near the eyebrow and lash line. Natural lighting emphasizes the glossy, dimensional finish of the dark paint against the skin. The intimate framing draws focus entirely to the unique facial artwork.
