Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait, captured by photographer Marta Bevacqua in Paris, focuses on a person's face with highly dramatic, graphic eye makeup featuring exaggerated winged eyeliner and painted lower lash lines. The subject's hands are prominently positioned framing the face, with one hand gently lifting the skin near the eyebrow. Harsh directional lighting creates deep shadows and stark highlights across the features, emphasizing skin texture and the graphic lines of the makeup. The composition is tightly cropped into a square frame, highlighting the intricate details of the eye styling.
