This photo is taken from a series of 12 photos. The soft light is achieved using a beauty dish, which gently and precisely sculpts the face. A directed beam highlights the structure of the skin, revealing its natural texture without artifice, while allowing shadows to envelop the contours to create a mysterious atmosphere.

The makeup was conceived as a graphic language: minimalist, bold touches of red break the classic balance and draw the eye to the eyes, the anchor point of the image. These almost ritualistic signs transform the portrait into a symbol.

More than a portrait, this photo is an interpretation of contemporary beauty: graphic, assertive, and imbued with mystery.
