About

Photographer Leeor Wild captures a sun-drenched aesthetic for Cosmopolitan UK's Beauty Special. This editorial series explores textures and vibrant color palettes through a collection of outdoor portraits. Leaning into natural light and warm tones, the project utilizes both macro photography and high-angle compositions to highlight intricate details, from water droplets on skin to knit patterns and metallic accessories. The imagery moves between poolside settings and rustic, organic backdrops, maintaining a cohesive editorial style throughout. By focusing on tactile elements and sun-lit skin, the work emphasizes a relaxed, summer-focused mood characteristic of seasonal beauty features.
