Olivier Zahm, Editor-in-Chief,

Description

This editorial portrait for Lampoon Magazine issue 32, titled The soap wants to be the sun, was photographed by Olivier Zahm with creative direction by Annabelle Weatherly. The close-up shot captures a person with dark, tousled wet hair wearing tortoiseshell sunglasses and a light-coloured bikini top, resting their arms crossed. Backlit by harsh natural sunlight, the sun creates dramatic rim lighting on their hair. The outdoor background features a glistening body of water with distant landmasses under a bright sky. The composition relies on warm natural light and an intimate, unposed framing.
