Rui Faria, Photographer, Paris

Description

A close-up portrait showcases a woman with dark skin and dramatic blue eyeshadow. She holds a purple orchid in her mouth, its petals framing her lips. Her left hand is raised, adorned with two large, sparkling blue rings. The nails on her fingers are painted a deep red. The background is a soft, light gray, providing a subtle contrast to the dark tones of her skin and the bold colors of the makeup and accessories. The image has been post-processed with a color grading that emphasizes the blue and purple hues, creating a striking and somewhat surreal effect. The composition is tightly framed, drawing attention to the model's face and the juxtaposition of the natural flower and the artificial jewelry.
