Ben Toms, Photographer, London

Description

This conceptual fashion photograph by London-based photographer Ben Toms captures a model completely obscured by an intricate wearable structure built from colorful kites and layered sheer fabrics. The figure stands outdoors on a muddy estuary shoreline with a distant tree-lined bank under an overcast sky. Multiple horizontal kite spars brace the midsection of the voluminous garment, creating a sculptural silhouette in shades of magenta, orange, turquoise, white, and black. Natural daylight illuminates the textured surface of the fabrics and the glossy sheen of the kite materials. The composition is shot vertically with a shallow depth of field, focusing sharply on the central costume while the natural waterfront background remains softly blurred.
