Paul Kooiker, London

Description

This striking portrait from the OX NY project, photographed by Paul Kooiker, features an East Asian model captured in a thoughtful pose against a textured neutral background. The subject wears a long, slender chain necklace that traces down the collarbone, casting a distinct shadow across the skin. Makeup by Kathinka Gernant accentuates the features with defined lips and subtle shading, complemented by manicuring from Daniel Smedeman. The composition employs soft, directional lighting that creates gentle highlights across the cheekbones and forehead. The monochromatic tone and intimate framing emphasize texture and form.
