Raoul Alejandre, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This striking black and white studio portrait captures two dancers locked in a dynamic and theatrical lift. The male dancer is positioned lower with a stable stance, wearing a dark hat and trousers, while supporting the female dancer who arches backward in a flowing black dress and sheer hosiery. The composition highlights muscle tension, fluid motion, and dramatic framing against a mottled grey seamless backdrop. The lighting creates strong contrast across their forms, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the choreography. Make-up artistry by Raoul Alejandre completes the polished aesthetic of this dramatic performance piece.
