Timothy Mackay, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a woman with her hair slicked back, captured from a low angle as she gazes down toward the camera. Her look highlights polished, glossy lips and detailed eye makeup crafted by makeup artist Timothy Mackay. The moody, high-contrast lighting accentuates the sharp contours of her jawline and neck while casting the background into soft, out-of-focus shadow. The tight framing and dramatic tonal grading create an intimate and sculptural aesthetic.
