Vogue Portugal Up Close and Personal 2026

Description

This monochrome close-up portrait captures an intimate interaction between two individuals with a sharp focus on facial textures and features. The foreground subject, an older woman with light hair tied back, wears large ornate pearl drop earrings and a white top. Her eyes are gently closed as she positions her face close to the ear of a second person positioned slightly behind her in shadow. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes skin texture, natural lines, and the sculptural quality of the pearls. Photographed by Ekin Can Bayrakdar with hair styling by Chris Sweeney and makeup by Faye Bluff, the image was created for Vogue Portugal under the project title Up Close and Personal.
