Mark Borthwick, London

Description

This striking macro photograph by Mark Borthwick features an extreme close-up of a human eye with heavy dark eyeliner and a visible reflection in the pupil. A white rectangular label is placed across the lower portion of the frame, bearing bold sans-serif text that reads DISPLAY COPY alongside a barcode and pricing details. The monochrome aesthetic emphasises high contrast, grain, and stark textures across the subject. The composition merges photographic portraiture with graphic elements, creating a conceptual and publication-oriented visual.
