Pop Magazine Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow (And Felt) 2025

About

Two Black women are captured in an intimate, warm-toned editorial portrait for Pop Magazine, photographed by Durimel with styling by Durimel, art direction by Ben Kelway, and hair by Oummy Youssoufa. The subject in the foreground leans forward with a contemplative expression, wearing a dark swimsuit with white trim and white crew socks, her skin catching a golden sheen. Another figure is seated closely behind, creating a sculptural composition against rich wood-paneled walls. The lighting is soft and directional, evoking a nostalgic indoor atmosphere with deep shadows and warm highlights.
