This series of up-close facial photography by Stephen Eastwood shows just how much you can do with so little. In these shoots we see nothing below the model's shoulders, yet there is still so much for your eyes to take in.
This photographer is so adept at holding the viewer's attention. This is often achieved by using strong, strange and in-your-face makeup or accessories on the model's face in conjunction with eyes that you can't look away from.
