Ward & Kweskin, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up photographic portrait by Ward and Kweskin captures a person's face submerged or viewed through rippled water, creating distorted light refractions across the skin. The subject features light blonde hair and heavily textured, metallic silver sequin-like eye makeup that glints under the lighting. The rippled water surface casts prominent wavy lines and shadow patterns across the nose, cheek, and lips. The composition focuses intimately on the upper portion of the face, highlighting the contrast between the organic skin tones and the reflective eye ornamentation. The overall mood is experimental and tactile, emphasizing unique textural interplay between water and makeup.
