JULIE MAGNUSSEN PHOTOGRAPHY
Joy’s work lives in the space where adornment becomes ritual and beauty becomes a way of listening. Through pearls, veils, opalescent light, community, and the presence of the white peacock, we created a visual story for Communion by Joy that held radiance, rebirth, devotion, and the unseen worlds moving through her work.
LUMINOUS JEWELRY STORY ON KAUA‘I
JOY SMITH for COMMUNION BY JOY
The creative direction for this session began with Joy as a medium between worlds. The veil became a way to reveal the soft edges and blurred lines of the liminal space she creates, while pearls, eggs, rainbows, opalescent color, and the white peacock carried themes of abundance, rebirth, beauty, and sacred transmission. We shaped each visual chapter around the relationship between jewelry, ritual, and community, allowing the pieces to be experienced as part of a living field rather than isolated objects. The land, the people gathered around her, and the changing light became part of the story, giving visible form to the communion at the heart of her work.
“THE EXPERIENCE felt DEEPLY SACRED and POWERFUL, HELPING me SEE the INHERENT DIVINITY in MY BRAND WORK. THE IMAGES TRULY CAPTURED the ESSENCE of COMMUNION I STRIVE to CREATE.”
— Joy Smith
