Whispers of Divinity: Unveiling the True Angel
The photoshoot for the angel in our Bestiary project was one of Nocturnia’s most ambitious sessions to date. With the collaboration of our talented team, and especially the expertise of our professional makeup artist, we created an angel that defies the classic portrayal of purity and gentleness. This angel was designed with inspiration from biblical descriptions: powerful, imposing, and, above all, extraordinary.
An Angel Beyond the Ordinary
Our vision was to present an angel unlike any traditional image, one that captured the strength and authority attributed to these beings in ancient texts. Rather than a delicate, soft figure, we wanted a being of almost overwhelming presence, one that inspired awe and reverence. Translating this concept into design and makeup was a unique challenge, as our goal was to enhance the supernatural, energetic aura of this heavenly figure.
The Makeup Artist's Masterpiece
Our professional makeup artist brought this vision to life with a true masterpiece in detail and texture. Inspired by biblical representations, the makeup blended shades of gold, white, and deep shadows, creating the illusion of a being that emanates light yet projects an intense strength. With intricately crafted eye effects and skin textures, the angel’s face displayed an expression of mystery and might, combining divinity and power in an otherworldly way.
Crafting a Majestic Presence
During the shoot, the angel came alive with an awe-inspiring presence. We adjusted the lighting and shadows to make the figure stand out, giving an ethereal quality as if they were ready to ascend. Our model’s posture was key in conveying the strength and protective energy of this angel, creating a sense of grandeur that seemed straight out of an epic tale.
The Final Result: Power and Beauty in its Purest Form
This session with the angel left a lasting impact on the team. Through each detail of makeup, stance, and composition, we achieved an angel that is not only visually striking but also tells a story of power and mystery. It evokes something far deeper than a mere symbol of peace.
With this shoot, we explored a lesser-known side of angelic imagery, presenting a vision of magnificence and enigma. At Nocturnia, we believe true art is found in unusual interpretations and the courage to challenge the familiar.
Stay tuned
