Mojeh Magazine

Jul 2026

Mercury Rising for Mojeh Magazine captures a deliberate shift in contemporary beauty standards, trading heavy-handed retouching for a raw, tactile celebration of human texture. Through the lens of photographer Chantelle Dosser, the cosmetics and beauty editorial project leans into a cinematic aesthetic defined by high-summer heat and quiet, domestic intimacy. The imagery navigates a delicate balance between high-fashion editorial polish and authentic, unvarnished detail, utilizing natural light to highlight every freckle and pore with striking clarity. Fashion editor and stylist Guillaume Boulez curates a tactile wardrobe of lace and floral patterns that grounds the subjects in a sense of lived-in elegance, while makeup artist Akari Sugino employs glossy textures and deliberate pops of color to transform the skin into a canvas of radiant health. Stylistically, the series employs macro techniques to draw the viewer into the visceral application of pigment, complemented by hair stylist Julie Bennadji’s work on short, textured bobs that emphasize the subjects' natural bone structure. Whether framing a contemplative moment with a book or a sharp, cooling contrast with an ice cube, the project channels a grounded, modern narrative. This visual exploration ultimately succeeds by elevating the mundane—a tiled floor, an electric fan, or a quiet bathroom setting—into a sophisticated, editorialized study of modern identity and authentic beauty.
