Through The Universe

Realizing anything related to cosmos in serious light is a hard task, but this accomplishes such & is even more impressive that it's done through a minimalist style.

Makeup with deep colour contrasts and near-breathed specked ends (upper face and clavicle) perfectly evoke the starry sky, and taken together with the introspective model help create a unique personification going beyond stylish photoshoot. A slick, jeweled sleeveless ebony dress, Classical hairstyle with wavy locks and a pose firm yet with a soft, vulnerable feel help unify the overall flow of forms. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!"/><img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/><img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!"/>

This would only work in a monochrome with right balance of natural lighting to seamlessly blend model and "black sand" giving it the feel of being part of the cosmos. This is flawless photowork here. And separation between the two shots is only a blink apart but already contains both extremes of time, awake and asleep. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="17" height="16" alt="" title="Star!"/>

A powerful shot and concept, working grand themes through elements with a gentle hand. The line between fantasy and material reality is further blurred here.
