About

A close-up fashion portrait captured by photographer Carin Backoff for the project An ode to Melanie, featuring model Libby Taverner. The model wears tinted sunglasses and smiles warmly while holding a cream-coloured satin pillow behind her head. Her long brown hair frames her face casually against a plain white background. The image utilises direct flash lighting, creating crisp highlights and shadows characteristic of commercial studio editorial work. Fashion editor Alastair McKimm styled the shoot, complemented by hair styling from Lucas Wilson, makeup by Jamal Scott, and manicures by Honey.
