Mirror Mirror Magazine: I’ll give a kiss

Apr 2025

Mirror Mirror Magazine presents 'I’ll give a kiss,' an editorial photography project that explores intimacy through a series of close-up portraits. Photographer Paul Bellaart employs soft, natural light to document candid connections against a clean, minimalist background. The series features makeup artist Kathinka Gernant’s detailed cosmetic work, emphasizing skin textures and bold, pigmented accents such as burgundy lips and dramatic blush. Casting director Michiel van Maaren coordinates the diverse subjects, including model Lotka Lakwijk, to maintain a consistent aesthetic across the project. The work utilizes a macro lens technique and neutral composition to focus on human connection within a refined editorial framework.
