Michael Bui, Make-up Artist, Paris

Description

This monochrome portrait features a young woman centered in the frame, wearing a dark collared shirt. Her hair has a slicked-back, damp texture, and she wears a small septum ring in her nose. The lighting is soft and directional, creating gentle shadows across her face and highlighting her natural features with subtle makeup artistry by Michael Bui. The background is softly out of focus, suggesting an interior setting with neutral tones. Captured in a vertical format, the composition focuses intently on the subject's direct gaze.
