Project Behind the Blinds · Anwar Hadid
In this evocative series for Behind the Blinds, photographer Emilia Staugaard captures Anwar Hadid through a lens of raw intimacy and candid reflection. The project, which leans heavily into a cinematic portrait aesthetic, strips away the artifice often associated with celebrity editorial photography to reveal a more vulnerable, textured reality. Through the expert vision of stylist Jake Sammis, the imagery transitions seamlessly between layered urban streetwear and stark, stripped-back portraiture, all while highlighting the intricate details of Hadid’s tattoos as a central visual narrative. By utilizing the tactile quality of 35mm film and the unpredictable, flattering nature of natural light, the collection feels both timeless and grounded in the present moment. Whether Hadid is positioned against a desolate concrete overpass or reclining within a minimalist, dimly lit interior, the composition maintains a deliberate focus on authenticity. The use of high-contrast lighting and distinct film grain reinforces a documentary-style elegance that elevates the work beyond standard fashion coverage. These portraits channel a sophisticated balance between structured editorial composition and spontaneous, real-world grit, creating a cohesive visual language that feels deeply human. The result is a compelling exploration of identity and style that feels less like a traditional photoshoot and more like a quiet, observational study of a subject caught between urban environments and introspective stillness.

In A Character Study, Behind the Blinds presents a masterful editorial portrait series that redefines the intersection of fashion photography and intimate personal storytelling. Featuring the iconic Alexa Chung as the central subject, the project channels a nostalgic, cinematic aesthetic that leans into the nuances of identity through a series of highly stylized, character-driven images. Photographer Ferry van der Nat captures Chung across various domestic and surreal vignettes, utilizing natural light to emphasize the rich, tactile textures of vintage wallpaper, damask curtains, and layered knitwear. The project thrives on high-contrast styling curated by fashion editor Jonathan Huguet, who juxtaposes delicate lace with bold, retro-inspired silhouettes and vibrant color palettes. Throughout the series, the visual language remains consistent yet varied, oscillating between minimalist studio shots and immersive, set-designed environments. Elements like 35mm film grain and carefully composed interior backdrops invite the viewer into a curated, semi-fictionalized world. Supported by the precise hair styling of Alexandry Costa and the nuanced makeup work of Morgane Martini, the series acts as a versatile showcase of character construction. By blending lifestyle reportage with high-fashion editorial rigor, the team creates a compelling visual narrative that feels both timeless and deeply personal, capturing Chung with an authenticity that pushes beyond standard portraiture to something far more evocative and intentionally staged.

By utilizing both controlled studio strobe lighting and soft natural light, the project achieves a cinematic tone that highlights the intricate textures of knitwear, leather, and jacquard fabrics. The editorial minimalism remains consistent across every frame, whether it is a close-up portrait or a full-length shot, allowing the curated garments to command center stage against saturated, monochromatic backdrops. Models Keanu Pauli, Oskar Geipel, and Till Wenner embody this intersection of luxury fashion houses and contemporary art, moving fluidly between vulnerable and assertive poses. The styling choices—from oversized trench coats worn as hoods to garments featuring graphic supermarket-inspired prints—foster a distinct, edgy aesthetic that feels both playful and deeply grounded.

The production draws heavily on the techniques of analogue film and studio strobe lighting, which together strip away the superfluous to highlight the raw tactile quality of the fabrics and the subtle, nuanced expressions of models such as Antoine Waldner and Siegfried Blanche. By juxtaposing outdoor urban lifestyle shots with carefully controlled studio portraiture, the narrative moves between public existence and private stillness. The resulting imagery is grounded in natural light, maintaining an aesthetic of quiet, high-contrast sophistication.
