Description
This extreme close-up portrait features the lower and central portions of a person's face in monochrome tones. Small, translucent, shell-like fragments are adhered to the cheek just below the right eye, casting distinct shadows. The high-contrast lighting emphasizes the granular texture of the skin and the sharp details of the eyelashes and eyebrow. The composition is tight and intimate, focusing on the subtle interplay between the facial features and the foreign textures on the skin. The photograph was taken in Istanbul by photographer Zeynep Özkanca.
