Sixteen Journal CRASH 2025

About

Captured for Sixteen Journal under the creative direction of project CRASH, this striking editorial image features model Alva Claire posed dramatically on the hood of a classic blue car. The scene is enveloped in atmospheric smoke, illuminated by a harsh, directional light source from behind that casts a bright halo and deep blue tones across the environment. Alva Claire wears a leopard-print bikini paired with a structured black corset and textured hosiery, creating a bold, high-contrast visual style. Photographer Sam Nixon utilizes dramatic flash lighting and moody color grading to emphasize texture and form against a dark, industrial background.
