Ethereal water glow

Ethereal water glow is a fine art editorial photographed by Samuel Bendix for MALVIE Magazine, with makeup by Rithy Ngy. Four frames bathed in deep blue light follow a model lying back in water, her skin and lashes catching the light like scattered stars.

About Ethereal water glow

In Ethereal water glow the makeup becomes the jewellery: turquoise and silver glitter swept across the eyelids and cheekbones, metallic lips and shimmering skin, with sparkling rings on the fingers and a crystal earring glinting at the ear.

Samuel Bendix works with saturated blue tones and points of warm light. The model floats with her head tipped back, a hand resting at her throat, eyes closed, while drops of water fall through the last frame like a soft shower of light.
