Into the Blue is a fashion editorial project for Relik Editions, captured by photographer Nicole Bentley. The series documents a collection of denim and textured apparel through a coastal lens, utilizing natural light and an analogue-inspired aesthetic to define the visual narrative.
The imagery leans into a clean, editorial style, with a recurring focus on light, water, and sand. Fashion stylist Sara Smith and hair and makeup artist Nadine Monley maintain a consistent aesthetic across the project, emphasizing wet-look hair, desaturated palettes, and layered, tactile wardrobe elements. The series makes extensive use of natural light and subtle grain to ground its outdoor settings.
