Paper Magazine Essence Is Just Getting Started 2026

Description

This black and white fashion editorial photograph for Paper Magazine captures a Black woman with long curly hair posing dramatically on a curved seamless studio backdrop. She wears a minimalist white slip dress paired with high-heeled shoes, leaning back with her long legs extended across the foreground. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows that accentuate the sculptural lines of her pose. Jack Maffucci photographed the scene as part of the project Essence Is Just Getting Started, with fashion styling by Noah Diaz and makeup by Mollie Gloss.
