Description

This striking editorial portrait for the Mixte project The Secret Party was photographed by Julius Bohlin, featuring an east asian female model against a dark background. The subject wears an ornate multi-strand pearl necklace, dangling earrings, a patterned dark lace garment, and a bright blue satin sash at the waist. A whimsical headpiece constructed from twisted, colourful balloons in shades of blue, yellow, pink, and purple arches above her head. The composition is captured with soft directional lighting that emphasizes the rich textures of the pearls, fabric, and glossy balloon surfaces.
