The LUX editorial by Sally Ann and Emily May Gunawan will make you want to take a midnight dip. This beautiful editorial takes place in an [empty indoor pool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vetrite) that is eerie and calm with a captivating blue glow. The model Renya from 21 mm is captured wearing luxurious bodysuits adorned with sequins and lace. Her hair is slicked back as if she just came out from the water, and her seductive glares are intriging. She looks elegant and sophisticated lounging back in the [calm waters at night](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-swexan-x-missoni).

Sally Ann and Emily May Gunawan are sisters who are three years apart in age and work together as a photography duo. They are from Indonesia, and have both loved photography since their early adolescence. This young duo has done work for CHIC Magazine, CosmoGIRL! Indonesia, Vogue.it PhotoVogue, MAXIM Indonesia and more.
