Michael Baumgarten, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking close-up portrait by photographer and artist Michael Baumgarten captures a subject with voluminous, bleached white hair tinged with pastel highlights. The person's eyes are completely obscured by two large, multi-petaled white flowers with dark pink centers, creating a surreal and sculptural effect. The background consists of a textured, mottled surface with soft abstract hues. The lighting is bright and diffuse, highlighting the intricate texture of the flower petals and the fine details of the subject's stubble and lips.
