Elle Beauty Awards 2026 2026

Description

This striking monochrome close-up portrait features a woman photographed through a pane of glass covered in water droplets and condensation. Her expression is calm and direct, with soft lighting accentuating the texture of her skin and the wet surface of the glass. The composition focuses intimately on her face and shoulders, creating a moody and atmospheric aesthetic. Photographed by Thiemo Sander for the Elle Beauty Awards 2026 project with makeup by Maria Olsson, the image employs a clean, high-contrast black-and-white grading that emphasizes tone and form.
