Chris Smith, Natural Beauty (Portrait 2020)

I love capturing the essence of women and their natural beauty. It's not often women leave the house or allow themselves to be seen without putting some makeup on, almost like a mask that helps hide or cover up their natural beauty. I asked Maddie to not wear any makeup, no styling, no hair done, just completely natural with nothing but a white wall and some natural window light to really capture her true self
