Fawn-eyed Julia Elias posed for photographic duo Bibi & Jacob in the 'Dark Side of the Forest' editorial. The final touches were done by stylist and makeup artist Kazick Stolarczyk.
The forest can be seen as Mother Nature's sanctuary, or a haunted, horrifying place filled with monsters both real and imagined. Bibi & Jacob go for the latter, saying, "We wanted to show the scary mood – the forest is not the place for fun for small [,] well-behaved girls. Fortunately, our model Julia has not been captured by the evil rangers. She had wings and flew like a rocket."
Thanks to Pink Floyd, we're all familiar with the "Dark side of the moon," the hemisphere that's is permanently turned away from the surface of the Earth. Now, Bibi & Jacob are introducing us to the dark side of the forest with their spooky editorial.
