Vanessa Collins, Make-up Artist, Sydney

About

A striking monochrome portrait captures a woman with tightly styled cornrows looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. She is wearing a dark, button-down collared shirt with distinctive front closures, posed with her hands near her hips. The lighting creates a high-contrast interplay of highlights and shadows across her face and the fabric textures. The neutral, minimalist background keeps the complete focus on the subject and the intricate grooming details. Hair and make-up styling is credited to Vanessa Collins in Sydney.
