The Metalhead Magazine Residual Light 2026

Description

Model Akuel Malong poses seated on a distressed dark studio floor against a textured pale blue-grey backdrop for The Metalhead Magazine editorial Residual Light, photographed by Leonardo Bornati. Malong is styled with bare shoulders, wearing ruched black leather opera-length gloves and an expansive, pleated black silk skirt draped across the floor. Low-key, directional cool lighting sculpts the contours of the body and creates glossy reflections along the fabric folds.
