About

Matiere Reine, a striking fashion editorial featured in AboveBeyond Magazine, masterfully channels the tension between minimalist composition and high-concept texture. Shot by the creative duo Melanie and Ramon, the series leans into a stark, monochromatic palette that places the subject at the center of a disciplined aesthetic inquiry. Through the skillful use of studio strobe and natural light, the project explores the interplay between light and shadow, resulting in a series of images defined by an editorial portrait style that feels both timeless and aggressively modern. Central to the visual impact are the bleached brows and deliberate hair styling by Michał Bielecki, which provide a raw, avant-garde edge against the polished garments, while makeup artist Caroline Joos enhances the high-contrast lighting to create a cohesive, sculptural look. The curation of textures—ranging from glossy patent leather and reflective sequins to voluminous faux-fur—is expertly grounded by casting director Aymeric, who selected model Wilda Rubin for her ability to anchor such a sophisticated visual narrative. Whether utilizing low-key chiaroscuro or clean high-key studio environments, the project serves as a compelling study in fashion photography, prioritizing silhouettes and material detail to create a refined, rhythmic visual experience that celebrates the essence of form, truly living up to its title, Matiere Reine.
