Scensored

Jan 2024

Afterglow is a conceptual beauty editorial for Scensored that prioritizes raw, tactile aesthetics over traditional retouching. Under the creative direction of Lucy Jane Brand, the project leans into a high-contrast visual language that juxtaposes organic elements—such as melting ice, burning matches, and skin texture—with precise, minimalist styling. Photographer Amelia Dowd captures the series through a mix of intimate macro photography and sharp monochrome portraits. The aesthetic is defined by soft directional lighting and distinct film grain, creating a grounded, modern tone. The work integrates editorial typographic layouts that mirror the project's visceral themes, with styling contributions from Lucy Jane Brand, hair by Janice Wu, and make-up by Shella Ruby Martin.
