For the PRADA Beauty Campaign 2025, Sohphea Yen c/o SHOTVIEW delivers a contemporary beauty aesthetic defined by clarity, restraint, and presence. Clean lines, controlled minimalism, and quiet strength form a visual language that aligns seamlessly with the codes of Prada Beauty. Skin, gaze, gesture – every element feels intentional, nothing ornamental. The makeup, created by Sohphea Yen using Prada Beauty products, enhances the natural structure of the face, shifting the focus toward expression rather than effect.

The campaign was photographed by Lotte Thor, whose precise and modern imagery reinforces the campaign’s calm intensity. Once again, PRADA Beauty demonstrates how contemporary luxury aesthetics work today: reduced, intelligent, and emotionally controlled.

Sohphea Yen is a makeup artist working within the fashion industry, with a background spanning editorial, photo styling, and artistic practice. She entered the field in 2006 as a fashion and beauty contributor before building a decade-long career as a photo stylist from 2007 to 2017. This period shaped her comprehensive understanding of image construction, light, and visual coherence.

In 2018, she shifted her focus exclusively to makeup, bringing with her a refined sense of balance, natural beauty, and subtle, timeless aesthetics. Her work is guided by a holistic vision of the image, informed by years of experience across different disciplines. She studied drawing at the night classes of the Ateliers des Beaux-Arts, with a strong interest in classical painting. This artistic foundation adds depth and sensitivity to her approach, blending modernity with a timeless aesthetic. Her style is defined by natural textures, understated elegance, and a precise understanding of light – always enhancing, never overpowering.

For Lacoste Jewelry, a high-end beauty production was created by Carlos Victimo c/o SHOTVIEW. At its center: the iconic crocodile – reduced, polished, and charged – staged in extreme close-ups that merge jewelry and skin into a single visual surface.

Victimo works with maximum proximity. Lips, light reflections, textures – everything is precisely composed, nothing accidental. The jewelry becomes physically tangible. The images move between intimacy and graphic rigor, between beauty and an almost surreal abstraction.

Carlos Victimo is a fashion and beauty photographer as well as a creative director, known for his emotionally charged visual language. His work combines drama, color, and minimalistic fantasy into powerful visual narratives. Fashion often serves as a starting point for making inner visions visible – emotions turn into light, forms into meaning.

His goal as a photographer is to translate emotions into visual stories, challenge perception, and celebrate the power of light. This approach is clearly felt in the Lacoste production – precise, intense, and sharply focused.

Carlos Victimo has previously worked for publications including Vogue, Perfect Magazine, The Altered States, Numéro, TUSH, and other international titles.

Shotview continues to expand its artists roster and now officially represents fashion photographer and director Sebastian Kapfhammer. Marking this new collaboration, the agency presents a strong first statement: the cover story of the debut issue of AC.CESS Magazine.

AC.CESS focuses on the less celebrated sides of the fashion industry. Accessories, behind-the-scenes perspectives, fashion and art intersect to reveal what often remains unseen. Cover 1 features Hollie-May Saker together with Leo the dog in a contemporary tribute to Chris von Wangenheim, captured by Kapfhammer with his distinctive sense for tension, attitude, and emotional friction.

Shotview on Sebastian Kapfhammer: “Kapfhammer is a German fashion photographer and director based in Paris. Over the past decade, he has worked with a wide range of artists, brands, and fashion designers. His work provokes on an emotional level and expands on humanistic and social subjects. Making the unseen visible through versatile forms of media is his way of speaking.

The urge to transform the intangible into something material and comprehensible traces back to a life-changing moment in his childhood, when he temporarily lost the ability to speak. Unconsciously, he began to develop another way of expressing what he wanted to show – without words. This marked the beginning of visualizing his inner universe. His work raises questions we should all be asking more often. In his projects, he embraces themes rooted in a deeper, more centered level of life, while subtly embedding seemingly negligible details. These elements form a profound visual language that reflects both his way of creating and his way of thinking.

With a highly concise approach, Sebastian Kapfhammer transforms reality into striking, thrilling, emotional, imperfect, natural – yet also artificial – forms of preservation.”

His client and editorial list includes Louis Vuitton, Duvetica, Bottega Veneta, MSGM, Galvan, DÉFAÏENCE, Dazed, Numéro France, V Magazine, and PUSS PUSS Magazine.

We’re excited to see what’s next – welcome to Shotview, Sebastian Kapfhammer.
