Laure Dansou, Make-up Artist, Paris

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman seated on a wooden chair against a plain backdrop. She wears a patterned long-sleeve top featuring light-coloured polka dots against a dark ground. Her straight dark hair features blunt bangs, and distinctive makeup frames her eyes. She delicately holds a large, spotted tulip-like flower close to her face, with additional flowers tucked into her hair and shoulder. The composition is rendered in high-contrast black and white tones with soft lighting.
