'Black Angel,' photographed by Tim Zaragoza, features slick, dark city girl looks for Air France Madame Magazine. For October/November 2013, Clara Settje dons greased back blonde locks and heavy eye makeup which blends well with the dark skyscrapers of New York City behind her.
She stands out as a powerful feminine figure who knows her place in the Big Apple. Her leather outfits and confident posture make this one bad girl you shouldn't mess with.
One image stands stark from the rest. She stands resting against the edge of a ledge and tilts her head back slightly with her eyes closed. The sun shines brightly on her face, illuminating her against the city building landscape behind her. This image gives off a powerful sense that she is in serenity. Her calm expression contrasts the usual stress and hustle of urban life.
