About

The Venomous Cover Story is a fashion editorial series captured by photographer Sam Spence. Set against rugged river landscapes, the project explores the interplay between organic textures and high-contrast natural light. Model Anabel Krasnotsvetova is featured throughout the series, appearing both submerged in shallow, crystalline waters and perched along granite rock faces to highlight the environment's raw character. The series leans into earthy, tactile visual storytelling. Fashion editor and stylist Amanda Mariko employs intricate details—such as macramé, leather fringe, and seashell ornaments—to provide structural contrast against the fluid, water-dappled surroundings. The aesthetic is defined by its reliance on natural light, which creates dynamic caustic patterns across the scenes and highlights the iridescent, glitter-forward beauty work by makeup artist Johanna Nomiey and wet-look hair styling by Amber Duarte.
