The Volt Magazine February 2014 editorial embraced the color of love for the month of love. From all-red outfits to a scarlet backdrop and similar makeup hues, the looks might seem overboard in theory, but the monochromatic palette simply makes the photoshoot stand out all the more. It helps that the images have a bit of an abstract nature to them.
Titled Recurrence, the Volt Magazine February 2014 editorial stars Ford model Tessa Antifave. The blonde beauty was shot by photographer Rui Faria, who concentrated on close up portraits, which is only natural considering it is a beauty editorial. The looks were perfected with ruby red nail polish, crimson eye shadows and, of course, a classic berry lip.
