Beyond Noise Photography Willy Vanderperre 2026

Description

This striking portrait from the Beyond Noise project is captured by photographer Willy Vanderperre, featuring editorial styling directed by editor-in-chief Sarah Richardson. The composition centers on a female model posing within a theatrical, shadowy studio environment framed by draped pink and sage fabric backdrops. In the foreground, an elaborate still-life arrangement features a round mirror reflecting light, unlit tapered candles, glassware, and rich burgundy and blue textiles creating a theatrical staging. Hair styling by Louis Ghewy and makeup by Lynsey Alexander complement the painterly aesthetic of the scene. The low-key lighting and dramatic chiaroscuro focus attention on the textured fabrics, floral elements pinned to the apparel, and the solemn expression of the subject.
