Elle Kazakhstan

Jul 2025

Elle Kazakhstan explores surreal aesthetic expressions in this editorial fashion and beauty series, 'It's magic!'. Captured by photographer Daniil Kudryavtsev, the project presents a collection of portraits that lean into abstract visual language and tactile detail. The imagery utilizes long exposure and intentional motion blur to create ethereal, dream-like compositions. Across the series, Kudryavtsev integrates diverse textures, from ornate floral headpieces and insect wing accessories to high-contrast monochrome portraits shot on grainy analogue film. Macro photography highlights intricate makeup applications, including vibrant mascara and dramatic blush, set against minimalist, low-key backgrounds.
