Nadia Altinbas, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This high-contrast monochrome portrait features a man in his 30s with a neat mustache and styled hair, wearing a dark button-down shirt and patterned trousers. Strong directional lighting casts sharp diagonal shadows across the background and the side of his face, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. His expression is thoughtful and turned slightly away from the camera as his hands rest gently together in the foreground. The image highlights precise grooming and make-up styling by Nadia Altinbas, emphasizing texture and tonal contrast.
