EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the artistry and tradition of a geisha having her make-up applied in Kyoto, Japan. The Geisha, known for their impeccable skills in entertainment and hospitality, are an integral part of Japanese culture. In this close-up shot, we see a profile view of the geisha's face as she attentively prepares for her performance. Her theatrical make-up is meticulously applied by another woman, showcasing the intricate beauty rituals that have been passed down through generations. The image exudes elegance and grace as it portrays the geisha's focused expression while holding still during this delicate process. The vibrant colors used in her make-up stand out against her pale complexion, creating a striking contrast. Kyoto's rich history and traditional way of life are beautifully represented in this photograph. It offers viewers a glimpse into the fascinating world of geishas and their dedication to preserving ancient customs. Photographer Gavin Hellier/Robert Harding has skillfully captured this moment, highlighting both the technical expertise involved in applying geisha makeup and the cultural significance behind it. This vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate every detail with its emphasis on facial features. Whether you're an admirer of Japanese arts or simply fascinated by different cultures, this print serves as a stunning reminder of Japan's unique traditions and timeless beauty.
