The Color of Water

For the cover feature of Dani Magazine, Model/Actress Candice Neill was photographed by the renowned Artist and Image Maker, Troy Jensen, with makeup by Joseph Paul and assistance from Adrienna. The shoot was inspired by the essence of water, focusing on aqua blue tones, plastic fashion, and jewelry adorned with aqua-colored precious stones. The makeup was raw yet dramatic, featuring bold splashes of color that echoed the fluidity and intensity of water. Each setup captured a different form and energy of water, from the serene to the turbulent, with Candice embodying the very spirit of water in all its forms—graceful, powerful, and ever-changing.

“At 13, I was like a stream, fresh and eager, swept into the world of beauty campaigns where surface shimmered like sunlight on water. I remember my first big job that took me to London. From needing a passport, to making the flight, I knew at that young age that I had embarked on something that I knew I would love. Back then, beauty seemed like a perfectly still pond—something to be admired for its surface reflections. But as I’ve grown, the waters have deepened. I’ve learned that true beauty is like an ocean, vast and ever-changing, shaped by unseen currents beneath. It’s not just about the surface glow but the depth and strength that lie beneath, carving out a more profound, enduring beauty that only time can reveal.” says Candice Neill
