Featured Billboard Magazine projects
This week's top Billboard Magazine projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Billboard Magazine · Laufey
Billboard Magazine’s latest editorial feature on the meteoric rise of musician Laufey captures the jazz-pop sensation through a sophisticated, lens-forward perspective that balances intimacy with high-fashion polish. Photographer Molly Matalon masterfully directs the portrait series, navigating diverse environments that range from the lush, tropical confines of a greenhouse to the structured warmth of a studio setting draped in monochromatic curtains. These images lean into a timeless editorial aesthetic, utilizing soft, natural light to emphasize the subject’s composed and focused demeanor. Stylist Leith Clark curates a wardrobe defined by minimalist restraint, pairing dark, intricate lace and striking opera-length black leather gloves to create a visual narrative that feels both classic and contemporary. This careful attention to texture is matched by the clean, precise artistry of makeup artist Melissa Hernandez, whose approach highlights Laufey’s features with subtle, natural tones, while manicurist Yoko Sakakura provides the refined detailing that grounds the project’s high-end feel. By juxtaposing the vintage-inspired charm of a claw-foot bathtub scene against the clean, sharp framing of a studio strobe portrait, the series elevates Laufey’s brand beyond traditional music media into the realm of high-concept portrait photography. The result is a cohesive, evocative visual story that underscores the artist’s quiet confidence and stylistic evolution, successfully blending the worlds of music and entertainment with the rigorous, elevated standards of premium editorial print design.
Project Billboard Magazine · Billboard Arabia x Nancy Ajram Cover Story
Billboard Arabia presents a multi-faceted cover story featuring Lebanese music artist Nancy Ajram. The editorial package spans a series of portraits that lean into both high-contrast monochrome aesthetics and bold, saturated color palettes. Featuring photography by Amer Mohamad and fashion styling by Aleksandra Markovic, the series utilizes experimental reflective elements and graphic typography to frame the subject. The visual execution relies on clean, studio-based techniques. The compositions vary from structured, flash-lit portraits set against repeating exhibition grids to softer, beauty-lit captures using mirror installations. These editorial images maintain a consistent, polished tone while exploring textures ranging from intricate beadwork to high-shine metallic accents.

Billboard Magazine presents its August 30th, 2025 issue, featuring a cover story centered on entertainer Cardi B. Photographed by AB & DM, the editorial portrait utilises clean, intentional composition to frame the subject amidst floating glass elements and monochromatic chess pieces. Fashion editing and styling by Kollin Carter establishes the visual tone, complemented by hair styling from Tokyo Stylez and makeup by Erika La'Pearl. The production also features manicures by Coca Michelle and set design by Jacob Burstein, with the final layout incorporating signature typography and editorial headlines.

Billboard Magazine presents its August 2025 cover for the Italia edition, featuring Sofia Carson. This editorial project highlights a clean aesthetic through two distinct portrait sessions, utilising a neutral grey studio environment to maintain focus on the subject. Photographer Alan Gelati leads the visual approach, moving from a colour-toned, relaxed composition to a high-contrast monochrome portrait. The editorial work incorporates fashion styling by Marco de Lucia and hair styling by Elisa Rampi, employing natural light and analogue film techniques to define the series.
