About

Captured by photographer Emily Maye, this vertical editorial image features a woman standing waist-deep in a natural thermal pool surrounded by rising steam and rugged terrain. The subject wears dark activewear and has her hair tied back, looking downward into the shimmering water. Sunlight catches the edge of the rising vapor and glints off the water surface, creating a warm, hazy atmosphere. The surrounding banks are composed of dry earth, scattered rocks, and low-lying vegetation under a natural daylight setting.
