Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking portrait captures a black woman from a low angle as she poses underwater, adorned with heavy white face makeup and a dense, layered pearl necklace. Transparent bubbles float past the frame, catching iridescent light reflections and creating a distorted, dreamlike lens effect. The deep blue aquatic background surrounds the subject, enhancing the luminous quality of the pearls and the ethereal mood of the composition. Photographed in Paris by Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, the image uses natural underwater diffusion and shimmering light refractions to build a deeply tactile, high-fashion aesthetic.
