Description
Model Mawena Takpa is captured submerged in a dark tiled pool with her arms outstretched against the tiled edge for Bolero Magazine. Photographed by Arran & Jules with styling by Judit Melis, hair by Quentin Guyen, and makeup by Carole Colombani, the black and white shot features Takpa wearing a sheer long-sleeved knit or mesh garment. Direct lighting creates high contrast across the rippling water surface and the grid pattern of the pool tiles.
