Elle U.S. Becoming Hunter 2026

Description

This portrait features actor Hunter Schafer captured in profile, wearing a structured, high-collared black coat against a dark, moody background. Photographed by Szilveszter Mako for the Becoming Hunter project in Elle U.S., the image employs dramatic chiaroscuro lighting that accentuates the sculptural silhouette of the garment and the subject's facial features. The styling by Jessica Willis is complemented by hair from Pablo Kuemin and makeup by Raoul Alejandre, creating a painterly, timeless aesthetic reminiscent of classical portraiture. The minimalist composition focuses entirely on the subject's poised profile and the rich texture of the black outerwear.
