Zimmermann, Unguarded

Raquel Zimmermann is one of those faces that makes photography remember what it’s actually for. The Brazilian model has been one of the industry’s most essential presences for years—every Vogue worth reading, every photographer worth naming—and she carries a physical intelligence in front of a camera that most people in her position have to fake. She doesn’t perform. She’s just there. Undressed, that quality only intensifies. The camera has nowhere to hide and neither do you.
