Before Time Had Hands is a beauty editorial feature published in Tush Magazine. The series leans into a raw and intimate aesthetic, utilizing macro photography to isolate intricate textures, from skin pores and fine hairs to the tactile detail of a bumblebee resting on the skin.
Photographer Laura Palm adopts a minimalist approach throughout the work, employing natural light and clean studio lighting to define facial contours and artistic makeup applications. The imagery transitions between high-contrast portraits against deep black backgrounds and bright, clinical frames, incorporating elements like stenciled patterns and bold, matte pigments to create a cohesive editorial narrative.
