Elle Japan

Jun 2025

For their Under My Skin editorial, Elle Japan explores the intersection of skincare and portraiture through a series of macro-focused compositions. The project leans into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing natural skin textures and raw beauty details through intentional, glossy cosmetic styling. Photographer Levin Lee captures the series with a focus on high-contrast textures, utilizing soft lighting to highlight features such as wet-look hair and intricate makeup applications. With makeup artistry by Nicole Handy, the work utilizes a neutral color palette and simple studio settings to maintain a refined, editorial look.
