About

This striking editorial portrait features model Akuol Deng Atem captured from a low angle against a textured white background. She wears large, sculptural silver earrings, a thick silver chain choker necklace, and a pendant necklace resting below. The lighting creates subtle shadows, emphasizing the reflective metallic jewelry and the dark tones of her clothing. The image was captured by photographer Sascha Heintze with fashion styling by Julia Quante, hair by Beth Shanefelter, and makeup by Emilie Plume for Unpolished Magazine Online as part of the project Unsaid, Unseen.
