Cero Magazine: Natural Beauty

Aug 2025

Natural Beauty is a fashion editorial series for Cero Magazine, characterized by an intimate, candid perspective on style. Photographed by Kristina Shakht and featuring model Leah Risi, the project explores the interplay between soft, organic settings and structured, sheer garment textures. The series leans into a distinctively analogue aesthetic, utilizing both square-format Polaroid instant film and traditional 35mm photography to capture a raw, tactile quality. Throughout the imagery, makeup artist Elika Hilata maintains a minimal approach, emphasizing natural skin tones and subtle details that complement the wardrobe's focus on transparency and pattern. The project transitions between high-contrast monochrome portraits, characterized by gritty, low-key lighting, and softer, sun-drenched outdoor scenes that highlight the layering of fabrics against lush, vibrant foliage.
