Stephanie Peterson, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

Description

This black and white photographic portrait features two figures in a dramatic studio or dark environment, styled with high contrast lighting. On the left, a woman stands with her back to the camera, wearing a light-coloured textured dress with her hands tied behind her back using a satin ribbon bow. On the right, a woman with dark hair and striking make-up looks upward and away from the camera, wearing a sheer-paneled dark dress and ornate dangling earrings. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes sharp shadows and textures across the clothing and skin. The visual styling has a cinematic and theatrical quality, highlighting the intricate make-up artistry by Stephanie Peterson in Los Angeles.
