"Magnificent and Holy" is Actually Magnificent

This editorial from Elle Thailand proves you don't always need an elaborate set to create stunning images. The clothes, photography, and model all work to produce fantastic photos while against a plain, sometimes slightly textured white background. The elimination of props and distracting setting allows the clothes and ultimately the photography to shine.

This is the first photo of the editorial, and it is a quality opening, inviting me to discover the rest of the captivating images in the spread. I love the movement and the contrast between the red of the dress and blank background.

My favorite photo is below, and I love it for so many reasons. This image is hauntingly beautiful, and I could look at it for such a long time. The mask on the model's face is a great touch, adding to the mystery evoked in the picture. 

For a different perspective, the photographer captured a beauty shot I also love. The model's face is almost completely hidden behind her white wig that swirls like wisps of smoke. The undertones of yellow consistent from her face to the clothing is a subtle, beautiful detail. 

The rest of the editorial is equally stunning turns a simple setting into a great photo spread.
