W Youth Pen15 Forever 2026

Description

This editorial portrait for the project Pen15 Forever features actor Maya Erskine alongside another woman posing formally in prom attire. The subject on the left wears a pink off-the-shoulder satin gown with sheer arm drapes, while the woman on the right wears a floor-length navy blue velvet dress with thin straps. They stand holding hands centrally in front of a dark backdrop. Overhead, a glittery banner spells out the word PROM, flanked symmetrically by two classical grey pillars topped with silver vases containing floral arrangements. The floor at their feet is scattered with colorful confetti. The lighting is direct and flash-like, creating a candid yet staged prom-photograph aesthetic.
