Description

This striking editorial image for W Magazine's Epic Journey project was photographed by David Sims, with creative direction by Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel. Styled by Benjamin Bruno, the photograph features model Raquel Zimmermann standing behind a textured, dark glass surface, holding a reflective silver fabric in her right hand while pressing her left hand against the pane. Her hair falls in long waves, and she wears patterned briefs against a dark background speckled with condensation and droplets. The composition is captured with a raw, artistic perspective, emphasizing tactile materials and moody illumination.
