Gemma Hayward, Fashion Stylist, London

Description

This black and white editorial image features a group of female models wearing matching black swimsuits and swim caps, seated in rows of numbered stadium seating. The composition employs a sharp focus on the foreground subjects while the background rows recede into shadow. The stark lighting accentuates the contrasting tones of the attire against the plastic stadium chairs. Fashion stylist Gemma Hayward directed the look in London. The moody atmosphere and monochromatic treatment lend a sculptural quality to the scene.
