Raoul Alejandre, Make-up Artist, New York

About

This striking low-angle portrait features a Black model wearing a heavily embellished, glittering blue and silver sequin dress with voluminous sleeves. The subject is captured in a dynamic pose with both arms raised high, causing braided hair to sweep across the frame. Sunlight catches the reflective sequins, creating a shimmering texture that contrasts with the deep blue sky visible in the background. The low camera angle enhances the dramatic composition, making the figure appear monumental against the open horizon. Professional makeup artistry by Raoul Alejandre completes the polished editorial look.
