Photographer Elena Pirogova-Mares captures 'Recovery,' an editorial for The Ones 2 Watch. The image series highlights candid and unexpected portraits of model Lily Oakes who appears tired as she lounges in a wardrobe of graphic sportswear.
Donning fashionable and comfortable pieces from Adidas, Oakes sleeps on the ground and atop stacked furniture pieces while avoiding the workout she is obviously dressed for. This editorial's wardrobe is handpicked by Marian Nachmia who collaborates with hair stylist Michiyo Mitti Kondo and makeup artist Marta Vetere.
This Elena Pirogove-Mares image series spotlights candid and narrative shots of its model star. Each portrait is unstaged and unposed, capturing spontaneous imagery of a young subject who appears to have trouble staying awake.
