Project Beyond Noise · Beauty of Summer
Beyond Noise explores the intersection of raw material and summer vibrancy in Beauty of Summer, a visually arresting cosmetics campaign that elevates product imagery through an unapologetic focus on sensory detail. Photographed by Betina du Toit, the project masterfully employs macro photography to transform everyday makeup into sculptural elements, emphasizing the thick, creamy consistency of pigments against the sharp, architectural lines of the palette. Under the guidance of fashion director Alice Lefons, the campaign leans into a high-key aesthetic that celebrates color saturation, pairing warm palettes of orange and red with the cool, refreshing pop of opaque blue nail lacquer. This editorial approach bridges the gap between traditional beauty advertising and artistic still life, utilizing hard light to highlight the glossy finish of braided sandals alongside the delicate, crumbling textures of pressed powder. Makeup artist Rebecca Wordingham provides a sophisticated edge to the visuals, while model Maryamo Musse brings a grounded, modern presence that keeps the high-fashion styling feeling accessible and alive. By stripping away conventional lifestyle clutter and focusing on the tactile quality of the products, the campaign reads as an intimate study of form and pigment. The result is a refined, minimalist exploration of summer beauty that relies on precise composition and texture rather than heavy retouching to command the viewer’s undivided attention.
Project Beyond Noise · Beyond Noise Issue 5 - Willy Vanderp ...
Beyond Noise Issue 5 marks a bold departure in cosmetic editorial, curating a visual language that transcends standard beauty tropes to embrace an avant-garde, sculptural aesthetic. Under the creative vision of Editor-in-Chief Sarah Richardson, the project serves as a masterclass in high-fashion beauty photography. Photographer Willy Vanderperre employs a mix of low-key chiaroscuro and crisp studio strobe lighting to pull focus toward the tactile and the surreal. The editorial narrative is anchored by the transformative work of makeup artist Peter Philips, whose use of saturated pigments—from electric blue lashes to vibrant, floral-adorned orbits—turns the human face into a living canvas. This focus on intricate detail is further enhanced by hair stylist Louis Ghewy, who crafts gravity-defying, architectural silhouettes that frame the subjects with dramatic intensity. Throughout the series, manicurist Delphine Aissi contributes to the hyper-focused macro compositions, where metallic polishes and cyan hues serve as striking counterpoints to the organic texture of skin. Featuring model Gertrud Rose, the issue leans into raw, emotive portraiture that balances technical precision with visceral artistic expression. By stripping back the context to stark black voids or neutral gray studio backgrounds, the imagery forces a confrontation with the artistry of the cosmetics themselves, ensuring that every pore, lash, and floral appliqué remains the definitive subject of this captivating visual document.
Project Beyond Noise · BEYOND NOISE Issue 5 Photography by ...
Beyond Noise Issue 5 emerges as a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling, channeling a sophisticated, avant-garde energy that feels both timeless and impeccably current. Through the lens of photographer Robin Galiegue, this fashion editorial project leans into a moody, monochromatic aesthetic, masterfully balancing opulent textures with dramatic silhouettes. The visual narrative unfolds across diverse settings, from the stark, controlled atmosphere of studio strobe portraiture to the cinematic, low-key chiaroscuro lighting of storied estates and urban alleyways. Every frame serves as a study in contrast, where intricate ruffles, structured leather, and delicate pearl embellishments interact with light and shadow. The production is elevated by the precise styling of hair stylist Benjamin Muller and makeup artist Lucy Bridge, whose work underscores the sharp, intense expressions of talent like Ava Shipp and Ella Rattigan. With a creative framework expertly supported by set designer Andrea Cellerino, the imagery avoids the generic, instead building a cohesive world that feels theatrical and deeply considered. Whether capturing models in mid-motion or posing in serene, ornate interiors, the project succeeds as a refined showcase of luxury fashion houses, utilizing film-inspired techniques and editorial minimalism to create a lasting, evocative impact within the industry.
Project Beyond Noise · Photography Willy Vanderperre
Beyond Noise represents a masterclass in fashion editorial photography, where the renowned lens of photographer Willy Vanderperre breathes life into a collection of avant-garde and luxury garments. This expansive project captures a series of striking tableaus that balance high-fashion rigor with a surreal, domestic-gothic sensibility. Across these images, the work oscillates between stark, high-key studio portraits that isolate sculptural silhouettes—characterized by voluminous ruffles, intricate lace, and architectural puff sleeves—and moodier, cinematic scenes. In these more theatrical compositions, Vanderperre leans into a chiaroscuro aesthetic, placing models amidst an eclectic array of props including vintage fans, candelabras, and pomegranates, all framed by heavy, draped curtains. The creative vision is elevated by the precision of hair stylist Louis Ghewy and makeup artist Lynsey Alexander, who weave unconventional details like bleached eyebrows and bold, painted lips into the visual narrative. Featuring casting direction by Julia Lange and brought to life by models such as Binx Walton and Charlie Jones, the project utilizes studio strobe lighting to meticulously highlight the textures of tulle, satin, and taffeta. By juxtaposing formal, tiered gowns with mundane objects like soda cans and snack packaging, Beyond Noise challenges traditional luxury tropes, delivering a sophisticated, conceptually bold series that remains firmly rooted in the technical excellence of classic studio portraiture.
Project Beyond Noise · Beyond the Border: EENK
Beyond the Border: EENK captures a striking dialogue between high-fashion couture and the raw, utilitarian spirit of Seoul. Photographer Joongsan Yang masterfully navigates this intersection, utilizing soft natural light to illuminate the architectural rigor of the EENK collection against a backdrop of industrial concrete, parking garages, and urban thoroughfares. The project leans into the language of editorial photography, where the sculptural volume of the garments—defined by layered textiles, feather-like accents, and sharp monochromatic contrasts—becomes an extension of the city itself. Model Juwon Lee serves as the kinetic focal point throughout the series, moving through spaces with a precision that balances the structured, avant-garde silhouettes of the clothing against the candid, everyday pulse of local life. By juxtaposing the polished, minimalist elegance of the styling with weathered surfaces and the occasional intrusion of candid street activity, the imagery achieves a unique tension that feels both cinematic and grounded. This editorial work effectively strips back the noise of traditional fashion campaigns, favoring a clean, deliberate framing that prioritizes geometric form and texture. Whether framed by traditional ceramic jars or industrial hazard-striped walls, the collection appears as a profound exploration of human silhouette and movement, resulting in a cohesive visual narrative that elevates the mundane surroundings into a sophisticated, high-concept setting.
Project Beyond Noise · Charlotte Rampling
For the latest edition of Beyond Noise, photographer Willy Vanderperre captures actor Charlotte Rampling in a series of striking editorial portraits. The session, overseen by Editor-in-Chief Sarah Richardson, leans into clean studio aesthetics and minimalist compositions to place the focus on form and texture. Each frame highlights sharp architectural silhouettes, from voluminous balloon sleeves to structured outerwear, grounded by a consistent off-white backdrop. Soft, diffused lighting accentuates the interplay of fabrics, including copper satin and heavyweight leather, while bold applications of turquoise shadow and red lip color provide focal points. The shoot features casting by Tom Macklin and styling details by hair stylist Louis Ghewy and makeup artist Lynsey Alexander.

Spanning both outdoor urban environments and controlled settings, the work leans into a cinematic, clean aesthetic. With casting directed by Julia Lange and makeup artistry by Eddy Liu, the series relies on minimal staging to highlight the subject. Editor-in-chief Sarah Richardson oversees the project, which employs analogue film techniques to achieve its distinct high-contrast, low-key look.
