Vogue China. December.

Inspired by Byzantine, the Roman Empire of the Middle Ages. This beauty shoot for the December Issue of Vogue China is a brilliant twist on the era. I love the blur of the background, which further strengthens the focus on the makeup.
The soft candle lighting and movement sets the mood and feel of the medieval, the makeup adding a theatrical and modern take on the period.

My favourite image.

Second fave.
