Fierce Beauty!

This shoot was created in collaboration with a hair stylist and nail technician, with a model from Elite Model Management New York. The images were photographed in the studio with controlled lighting designed to shape the face, highlight the texture of the hair, and bring attention to the hands, nails, and wardrobe details. Rather than treating this as a simple beauty test, I approached it as a full fashion story combining beauty, styling, lighting, posing, and direction into one cohesive visual series
