Elle U.S. Becoming Hunter 2026

Description

Hunter Schafer is seated against a dark, muted background, wearing a textured burgundy lace jacket with a decorative brooch and a matching patterned skirt. The portrait features soft, directional lighting that creates subtle highlights and shadows across her face and garments, lending a painterly quality to the composition. Her expression is direct and steady toward the camera, with short, wavy reddish-brown hair framing her face. The styling by Jessica Willis is complemented by hair design from Paul Kuemin and makeup by Raoul Alejandre. Captured by photographer Szilveszter Mako for the Becoming Hunter project in Elle U.S., the image combines classic portraiture with rich textural details.
