Richard Burbridge, Photographer, New York

About

This close-up portrait photograph by Richard Burbridge captures a model with dark wet hair and thick white soap lather completely covering her face and hair. The foam drips downwards from the chin and hairline, creating an abstract sculptural texture over the facial features. The lighting is direct and even, highlighting the contrast between the dark hair, pale foam, and visible skin tones around the mouth and eyes. The composition is framed vertically as a tight facial crop against a solid neutral grey backdrop. The overall mood is sculptural and experimental, characteristic of conceptual beauty photography.
