Book Book: Birds of Mexico City- 2026 2026

Description

This striking surreal portrait features a seated figure dressed in a patterned suit with white cuffs and dark dress shoes, perched on a simple wooden stool. The subject's head is completely obscured by a dark pillow and a burst of white feathers radiating outward, creating an ambiguous and otherworldly silhouette. The scene is shot against a textured grey concrete wall corner that creates an industrial, minimalist backdrop. The monochrome colour grading enhances the graphic contrast of the composition, highlighting the sharp lines of the tailored jacket and trousers. Photographed by Pieter Henket with creative direction by Chino Castilla for the book project Birds of Mexico City.
