Nicholas Gonzalez, Make-up Artist, Los Angeles

About

This striking editorial portrait features a model centered against a solid grey background, wearing an avant-garde sculptural garment constructed of concentric wireframe rings that flare outward in vibrant shades of blue and green. The subject's hair is styled into a towering black beehive updo, complemented by bold blue eye shadow and red lipstick styled by make-up artist Nicholas Gonzalez. The lighting casts dramatic, elongated shadows onto the background plane, enhancing the theatricality of the composition. She wears tall black boots that extend beneath the structural overlay. The overall aesthetic is polished, dramatic, and heavily art-directed.
