Martin Vallin, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait by photographer Martin Vallin in New York focuses tightly on a person's eye and surrounding facial features. The subject wears heavy, textured black eyeliner and mascara with visibly clumped, embellished eyelashes that catch the light. A single distinct tear or droplet rests on the bridge of the nose near the inner corner of the eye. The skin shows natural freckles and fine texture under high-contrast monochromatic lighting. The composition is intensely intimate, drawing attention to the intricate textures of the makeup and skin.
