Description

Olympic ice dancers Alex and Maia Shibutani perform a striking skating lift on an illuminated ice surface against a dark background. Photographed by Daria Kobayashi Ritch for HERO USA, the scene features dramatic lighting that casts long shadows across the ice. Maia is elevated in a graceful extension, wearing a sheer patterned top, while Alex supports her pose wearing layered outerwear. Fashion styling by Peghah Maleknejad and makeup by Sandy Ganzer shape the clean, artistic aesthetic of the project.
