Description

This striking black and white portrait features a woman captured in sharp profile with slicked-back hair and dramatic eye makeup. Delicate drop earrings accent her ear, catching the light against her skin. The composition incorporates reflective surfaces that create layered, repeating profiles extending into the background. The lighting is high-contrast and directional, sculpting her facial features with deep shadows and bright highlights. Photographed by Thiemo Sander with makeup by Maria Olsson for the Elle Beauty Awards 2026 by Elle UK.
