Title: Don't Look Up
Location: Shoaei Studio, Hamburg
“Don’t Look Up highlights what I love about beauty photography: real skin, strong expression, and the artistry of makeup without losing natural texture. The upward gaze feels unconventional, it avoids direct eye contact yet pulls the viewer in with force. The focus is on authenticity rather than heavy perfection, celebrating beauty that feels powerful, modern and human. For me, this portrait is about confidence and presence in simplicity.
I’m very grateful for this recognition and would like to thank the jury and my team for making this possible.''
