B Akerlund, Creative Director, Los Angeles

Description

This striking portrait from a Vogue Scandinavia editorial features a model styled by creative director B Akerlund. The subject wears elaborate avant-garde pearl earrings extending outward like spokes, complemented by vibrant turquoise eyeshadow and glossy mint green body paint covering her upper torso. The textured background picks up the cool tones of the styling, while warm, direct lighting highlights the glistening wet-look finish of the body paint. The high-angle framing accentuates the sculptural quality of the look, creating an arresting and surreal visual narrative.
