Celia Arias, Creative Director, London

Description

A woman in a surreal photo studio setting is dressed in a long-sleeved grey gown with a large, gathered skirt that extends into a train. She kneels, supporting a long, red stick across her shoulders from which two red bird sculptures and a small red lantern hang. The background is a gradient of dark browns and blacks. The floor is brown, suggesting a studio backdrop. The lighting is mixed, with warm tones illuminating parts of the scene, contrasting with cooler, darker shadows. The image features a fantasy aesthetic achieved through staging and color grading.
