Maud Rallière, Photographer, Paris

Description

This close-up photographic portrait captures a woman's face from an angled perspective against a stark dark background. The subject features dramatic beauty makeup, with intricate metallic silver leaf adhered heavily along the eyelids and eyelashes, creating a textured, sculptural effect. High-contrast directional lighting illuminates the bridge of the nose, cheekbone, and forehead while casting deep shadows across the rest of the composition. The tonal quality is moody and tactile, emphasizing the rough, reflective surface of the foil against the skin. Photographed in Paris by Maud Rallière.
