Description

Model Akuel Malong poses in an off-the-shoulder ruched dark dress for The Metalhead Magazine's project titled Residual Light, photographed by Leonardo Bornati. Captured in low-key, atmospheric lighting, deep shadows sculpt her features against a tall dark vertical studio panel bordered by pale wall tones. The cool, subdued color palette and restrained composition emphasize textural details in the garment and subtle highlights across the skin.
