S Magazine | VÖLUR by Rui Faria

In “Völur” – a epic fashion & beauty story from the pages of S Magazine‘s latest issue – the Portuguese photographer Rui Faria plays with his image of the ideal woman: strong, self-confident and resolute, while also having an implicit soft, feminine and erotic side.

He chose a Viking female warrior as the heroine for his models, Benthe de Vries and Elsa Brisinger to emulate.

In charge of photography was Rui Faria, with styling from Cynthia Lawrence-John, casting direction by Dean Goodman and set design by Dora Miller. Beauty is work of makeup artist Linda Öhrström, hair stylist Cher Savery and manicurist Chisato Yamamoto. Retouching by The Forge UK.
