naturskinx. An intimate documentary portrait of a 27-year-old Irish woman with fair freckled skin, green eyes and copper-red hair, a freediver just returned to the surface, standing chest-deep in a cold slate-blue sea. She wears a black neoprene wetsuit zipped to the neck. Her copper-red wet hair is slicked back, tiny saltwater droplets cling to her cheeks, fine pores and faint sun freckles remain visible. She looks directly into the lens with quiet exhausted triumph, mouth slightly open as she catches her breath. A thin strip of rising orange sun lights the wet edge of her face from behind, while the open blue sky softly illuminates her eyes. An out-of-focus dark volcanic island cuts across the distant horizon. Tight face-and-shoulders framing at water level, face slightly off-center, low horizon, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, real unretouched editorial photograph, restrained colors, no beauty retouching.
