About

Mastermind Magazine presents a series of editorial portraits featuring athlete Imane Khelif, captured by photographer David Luraschi. The imagery leans into a minimalist, desaturated aesthetic, focusing on the intersection of athletic silhouettes and structured tailoring against a seamless studio backdrop. The project features fashion styling by Conor Manning, who pairs utility jumpsuits, track gear, and boxing apparel with polished outerwear and leather accents. The shoot employs natural light and analogue film techniques to emphasize clean textures and a direct, neutral presence. Editorial direction is provided by Marie-Amélie Sauvé, with supporting hair, makeup, and manicure work by Alexander Soltermann, Aya Murai, and Audrey Chéri.
