Oct 2025

For the Modern Romance editorial in Elle Bulgaria, photographer Alicja Zalewska explores high-contrast portraiture through a series of striking beauty studies. The project leans into minimalist aesthetics, featuring a muted color palette that allows graphic makeup details to remain the focal point. Working with makeup artist Kenny Leung, the editorial captures a range of textures, from deep glossy lips to structured, slicked-back hair. The imagery utilizes soft beauty light against neutral backdrops, maintaining a clean and polished look throughout the series.
