Sarah Pardini, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up photographic portrait by Sarah Pardini features a subject looking directly at the camera with intense expression. Their face is marked by heavy, smeared dark eye makeup resembling dark tears or soot around the eyes. The subject holds a large, detailed bouquet of fresh white roses, small white filler flowers, and dense green foliage right below the chin, partially obscuring the lower face. The lighting is direct and bright, highlighting the texture of the flower petals and the stark contrast of the dark makeup against the skin. The composition is tight and intimate, focusing squarely on the face and the botanical arrangement.
