About

Abstract Lines is a beauty editorial for Vogue Czechoslovakia, showcasing a series of striking portraits that focus on experimental cosmetic techniques. Photographer David Ajkai and makeup artist Giulia Carini collaborate to explore graphic aesthetics, highlighting sharp, architectural eyeliner and bold pigments set against moody, low-key lighting. The project features macro and close-up compositions that emphasize tactile skin textures and precise, angular makeup designs. With a consistent use of vertical framing and soft light, the work maintains an atmospheric, painterly quality throughout the feature.
