Peter Beard, Make-up Artist, Sydney

About

A diverse group of fourteen women of varying ages, body types, and ethnicities pose together in matching lingerie sets in a brightly lit white studio. The composition combines seated and standing subjects, with several women leaning on wooden stools and boxes against a plain white wall. The monochrome black and white photography highlights varied skin textures, hairstyles, and expressions ranging from contemplative to smiling. Peter Beard provides make-up artistry for the group portrait, capturing an inclusive and body-positive aesthetic in Sydney. The clean, high-key lighting casts soft shadows across the floor, emphasizing the natural poses of the models.
