Featured HardCOPY Magazine projects
This week's top HardCOPY Magazine projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project HardCOPY Magazine · NYAUETH
For the striking HardCOPY Magazine editorial titled NYAUETH, photographer Elliot James Kennedy captures a vibrant, surrealist exploration of modern high fashion through a series of dynamic, high-contrast studio portraits. Featuring model Nyaueth Riam, the project leans into a bold, graphic aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of traditional editorial fashion photography. Under the expert eye of fashion editor and stylist Noemie Schelbert, the shoot weaves together diverse textures—from delicate lace and fringe to structured leather—with a playful, almost whimsical use of props like inflatable dolphins and vibrant geometric backdrops. The visual narrative is further enhanced by Masashi Konno's precise hair styling and Anastasia Borovik's makeup artistry, which together emphasize the model's powerful presence. Utilizing studio strobe lighting, the images maintain a crisp, clean clarity that highlights the intricate details of the garments while incorporating manual typography and hand-drawn graphic elements to add a surreal, illustrative quality. This combination of editorial minimalism and conceptual, surreal imagery results in a cohesive body of work that feels both avant-garde and meticulously curated. By balancing stark, dark backgrounds with neon pops of color and dynamic, motion-filled poses, the creative team delivers a compelling project that serves as a masterclass in contemporary styling and visual storytelling, demonstrating how technical precision can elevate the expressive nature of luxury fashion.
Project HardCOPY Magazine · Lara
For HardCOPY Magazine, photographer and creative director Nick Thompson presents 'Lara,' a compelling fashion editorial that investigates the relationship between the human form and liquid environments. Centering on model Lara Mullen, the series utilizes glass vitrines and water tanks to introduce layers of refraction, distortion, and tactile abstraction into the frame. Working alongside fashion editor Jordan Kelsey, the team explores a palette of vibrant saturated tones set against high-key, minimal studio environments. The execution employs varied techniques, ranging from clean, beauty-focused lighting to moody, analogue-inspired textural effects, emphasizing the interplay between wet surfaces, metallic accents, and latex apparel. Key contributions from hair stylist Claire Moore and makeup artist Faye Bluff anchor the project’s aesthetic, with casting by Svea Greichgauer and editorial oversight by Alexandra Georgette Oley.
