Ricky Alvarez, Photographer, New York

Description

This tight macro portrait by photographer Ricky Alvarez focuses closely on a person's eye, heavily decorated with shimmering silver hexagonal glitter across the eyelid and brow bone. Dark eyeliner frames the eye, accentuating the natural dark iris and long, dark eyelashes. A few stray pieces of glitter rest on the warm skin tone below the eye near noticeable moles. The composition uses an intimate framing technique to highlight the intricate texture of the makeup against human skin.
