Vogue Portugal In the Shadow of Excess 2025

Description

This striking editorial photograph captured by Catharina Pavitschitz for Vogue Portugal features a close-up composition of a hand displayed in dramatic silhouette against a clean, bright white background. Two prominent statement gemstone rings adorn the fingers, featuring large luminous green and blue stones accented by smaller pavé settings. The minimalist setup emphasizes the sculptural form of the hand and the intricate details of the high jewelry. The lighting creates a high-contrast shadow effect that highlights the rich textures and reflective surfaces of the rings. This piece forms part of the editorial project In the Shadow of Excess, styled by Joanne M Kennedy with makeup by Michelle Dacillo and manicure by Chiara Ballisai.
