WSJ: Hello, Summer!

Jun 2025

WSJ presents Hello, Summer!, an editorial project capturing a series of portraits and vignettes centered on seasonal leisure and athletic-inspired motifs. The series features model Grace Elizabeth across a range of studio and outdoor settings, leaning into a minimalist aesthetic defined by clean lines and balanced compositions. Utilizing natural light and analogue film techniques, the photography emphasizes soft textures and candid movement. The project was captured by photographer Stevie Dance, with fashion styling provided by Jenny Hartman. The editorial team includes hair stylist Adlena and makeup artist Rei Tajima, who maintain a fresh, natural look throughout the set. Set design by Mat Cullen and casting direction by Julia Lange frame the subject, while manicures by Elina Ogawa provide finishing detail to the portraits.
