Description

This striking portrait features model Aluel Keror captured in a clean profile view against a neutral gradient backdrop. She wears a distinctive white butterfly-shaped ear cuff that sits prominently along the earlobe. The shot employs dramatic studio lighting to highlight the contours of her face and short textured hair. Cruz Zimmer photographed the image as part of The Photographic Gesture project for Sixteen Journal, with fashion direction by Victoire Simonney. Hair styling by Diego Da Silva, makeup by Caroline Fenouil, manicure by Fanny Santa Rita, and casting by Evagria Sergeeva complete the production team.
