Richard Burbridge, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking macro beauty photograph by Richard Burbridge features an extreme close-up of a closed eye adorned with highly saturated, artistic makeup. Vivid fuchsia and magenta tones flood the surrounding skin and crease, while a sweeping brushstroke of emerald green highlights the brow bone. The eyelid itself shimmers in a rich metallic crimson and red, contrasted by dark mascara-coated lashes and a delicate flick of gold pigment at the inner corner. The split-composition layout shows a duplicated horizontal framing, emphasizing the painterly texture of the cosmetics and precise color application.
