Melissa Rogers, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

Description

An overhead vertical portrait captures a woman lying flat on a weathered, textured metal utility plate bordered by sparse weeds and dirt. She wears a sheer black crystal-embellished mesh dress layered over a vibrant neon green top and blue undergarments trimmed with dark feathers at the hem. Her long dark hair fans out across the ground above her head in a natural spread. Her makeup features soft pink tones on the cheeks and lips. The lighting has a direct, slightly harsh flash character creating a raw and candid aesthetic.
