Close-up macro shot of a brown eye adorned with colourful graphic face paint in silver, turquoise, and yellow stripes by Mikael Schulz.

Mikael Schulz, Photographer, New York

About

This striking macro portrait shot by photographer Mikael Schulz captures a tight, high-detail close-up of a human eye. The eyelid and surrounding skin are painted with vibrant, opaque blocks of colour, featuring a vertical stripe of metallic silver, a thick band of bright turquoise, and a bold stroke of yellow pigment along the side. The subject's dark brown iris is sharply focused, displaying fine textural detail and a visible circular reflection from studio lighting. The composition fills the frame entirely with skin, eyelashes, and the painterly cosmetic application.
