Mario Testino - Paint

These photograph's of Cara Delevingne were for Allure magazine and feature her drenched in foundation. All of the focus is on her face, with her body and the background being out of focus. The composition is central, which works of this type of portrait as the viewers eye is drawn straight to the middle of her face, where the drama is. The foundation is the same colour as her face, so it's not immediately obvious why this photo is unusual as it blends in. This makes an interesting contrast to Rankin's use of bright colours. As Cara is naked, there is no disruption of the illusion caused by clothing, which makes the photo easier on the eye.
