Sharif Hamza, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up beauty portrait by photographer and director Sharif Hamza focuses tightly on the face of a Black woman with her eyes closed. Her eyelids are adorned with a striking, highly saturated metallic blue eyeshadow that contrasts sharply with her dark skin tones. The macro framing captures fine textural details of the skin, pores, and the glossy finish of the makeup. Soft, directional lighting highlights the contours of the nose, lips, and brow bone while maintaining deep, rich shadows.
