prototype_ An ode to Melanie 2026

Description

This portrait features a model captured against a dark, seamless background with overhead studio lighting. The subject wears tinted sunglasses, a sheer metallic sleeveless top with lace trim, and metallic trousers, with hands tucked into pockets. Long brown hair frames the face, and the composition uses a vertical framing style with direct flash lighting creating sharp reflections on the eyewear and surfaces. The image was created as part of the project An ode to Melanie for prototype_, with photography by Carin Backoff, fashion styling by Alastair McKimm, hair styling by Lucas Wilson, makeup by Jamal Scott, manicures by Honey, production design by Milena Gorum, and modeled by Libby Taverner.
