The title of the Vision China June 2014 editorial, 'The Humanoid,' is slightly creepy as though to suggest an alienesque conspiracy about the models. That, or a robotic one. Whatever the case, the beauty looks featured throughout the photoshoot are abstract and futuristic, two things that can easily be deemed alien or robotic.
The Vision China June 2014 editorial was stars models Anastasia Kuznetsova and Henrietta Hellberg. Gorgeously stoic, they are captured in studio against a variety of backdrops. Yet it is the lighting that really enhances each of the images. Red, blue and multi-hued, the set is avant-garde and mysterious. The looks were perfected by makeup artist Tomohiro Muramatsu, who focused on both simple and complex executions.
