METAL Magazine The Peel 2025

Description

Shot by photographer Yulia Plakhotnikova for METAL Magazine's project 'The Peel,' this editorial portrait features a model leaning forward into direct overhead light. The subject sports bleached blonde hair tied into a topknot, textured skin detailing across the face, and an intricate black ink tattoo sleeve on the left arm. Dressed in a minimalist olive-khaki tank dress, the subject gazes intensely upward against a shadowy, dark mottled backdrop that emphasizes deep chiaroscuro contrasts and raw tactile texture.
