Vibrant Horizons: Elena Iv-Skaya for Africa is Now

Elena Iv-Skaya keeps pushing creative progression with her Imprint feature for Africa is Now Magazine.

Elena’s stark compositions and rich colour stories create a gorgeous harmony between human and nature. Surrounded by long grass, white sand, and deep blue skies, the models’ looks are transcendent and magnetic.

In the words of owner and designer Mzukisi Mbanegrew, Imprint has “become a brand which adopted the use of print as a storytelling tool”, and Elena has fully embraced the brand ethos into her distinctive oeuvre.

On how she created such striking, well-realised visions, Elena explained that ‘the team was strong, the location beautiful and the styling and makeup inspiring. When you have all the elements working so well together, shooting becomes easy and fun, and we shot the whole story in a couple of hours once on location.’
