August is coming to an end, so let's talk about all the [easy and breezy photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) we can before summer leaves us! This is a perfect summer-friendly editorial for Elle Magazine called 'Age of Enlightenment' featuring model Elsa Sylvan.

The Elle feature with Elsa Sylvan was photographed by Lina Scheynius and has the model [lazing around and running through fields](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection) in [light clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). The ‘Age of Enlightenment’ shoot makes me want to go spend some time outside.
