Description

This striking portrait from The Houdini Challenge project for ODDA Magazine features a close-up composition of a woman with her eyes tightly shut and a glossy green beetle held against her lower lip. Photographed by Cody Lidtke with styling by Lola Maqueda and makeup by Rei Tajima, the image uses crisp studio lighting to highlight natural skin textures and the iridescent sheen of the insect. The minimalist aesthetic and sharp focus emphasize the unusual interaction between human subject and prop.
