Harper's Bazaar UK Portrait Mode 2026

Description

This striking editorial image for Harper's Bazaar UK's Portrait Mode project features a white duck adorned with a delicate lace collar. The bird stands centrally within a dark, enclosed setting framed by a decorative wooden border hand-painted with red and blue floral motifs and green foliage. The dramatic lighting creates a stark contrast against the deep black background, highlighting the crisp white plumage and orange webbed feet of the subject. Photographed by Szilveszter Mako with fashion styling by Lisa Jarvis, the composition mimics a classical still-life painting. The art direction and styling bring a surreal, whimsical quality to the editorial frame.
