A 3D editorial for Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2020 campaign with Savoir Flair Magazine, in collaboration with photographer Abdulla Elmaz — an underwater dreamscape built around the collection's pieces.

The watery world was authored in Blender with custom liquid simulations, refractive shading, and volumetric lighting. Octane carried the final pass, with material work tuned to read distinctly between the photographed garments and the rendered environment.

The editorial leans into the surreal — using 3D as a way to push fashion photography past its physical-set limits, with environmental behavior that no on-location shoot could replicate.
