Steven Simione, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking close-up beauty portrait by photographer Steven Simione in Los Angeles captures a person with vivid green eyes and long, bright orange hair framing the face. The central focus is an intricate makeup or prosthetic effect where a layer of nude-toned skin appears to be peeling away from the face, revealing textured layers underneath. A single housefly rests prominently on the cheek near the mouth, which is painted with glossy red lipstick. Thin, dark eyebrows and subtle eye makeup enhance the piercing gaze, while the overall lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the tactile, distressed textures of the facial features.
