magazinemagazine Under pressure 2026

Description

This striking underwater editorial image, photographed by Zoe Natale Mannella for magazinemagazine under the project title Under pressure, features an extreme close-up portrait of model Lena Prieto. The subject is submerged, with her face densely covered in sparkling multicolored glitter that catches the water's refraction. In the adjacent composition, a tight macro view focuses on the nose and lips, highlighting air bubbles escaping from the nostrils and vivid green textured makeup adorning the mouth. The underwater lighting creates soft, diffused reflections and a dreamlike, immersive atmosphere with muted tones accented by bright pops of color. The set and styling were crafted by Viola Vitali, with hair by Gor Duryan and makeup by Rebecca Wordingham.
