Martin Vallin, Photographer, New York

Description

This extreme macro portrait photograph by Martin Vallin captures the lower half of a woman's face tightly compressed behind a layer of clear, wrinkled plastic wrap. Her lips are heavily painted with a deep dark red glossy lipstick, slightly parted to reveal white teeth. Rich eyeshadow and textured skin details are visible through the transparent sheet, creating a glossy, tactile finish. The lighting highlights the sheen of the plastic and the slick texture of the cosmetics. The composition is an intimate, abstract beauty study focusing purely on facial textures.
