Raoul Alejandre, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

A striking close-up portrait captures an adult female with a shaved head, adorned with delicate gold paint facial art that traces the contours of her face in winding patterns. She wears a classic black blazer, its dark fabric contrasting with the soft, neutral backdrop. The lighting is gentle and diffused, highlighting her features and creating soft shadows. Her gaze is slightly averted, lending an air of mystery and depth to her expression. The camera angle is at eye-level, fostering a sense of connection with the viewer. Accessories include a nose ring and an ankh earring. The overall effect is a blend of modern style and artistic expression.
