Description

Captured in high-contrast black and white for Altered States Magazine's project Unreal Times, this striking editorial portrait by photographer Scarlett Casciello depicts model Noor Elliott from behind. The subject is framed from the bare back up, showcasing an elaborate sculptural hair installation that branches outward into a horizontal, web-like fibrous canopy above a twisted ponytail. Hard directional lighting casts stark, symmetrical silhouette shadows against the pale studio backdrop, accentuating the textural tension between sleek skin and organic fiber structure.
