Melanie + Ramon, New York

Description

This extreme close-up macro portrait focuses tightly on the lower face, highlighting heavily defined dark glossy lips and the tip of the nose. The composition is rendered in a high-contrast monochrome color palette with prominent grain and sharp tonal boundaries. Art directed by Melanie and Ramon, the experimental framing emphasizes texture and stark lighting contrasts across skin and cosmetics. The minimalist crop removes all contextual background, directing full attention to the graphic lines of the facial features.
