DEFINED Magazine Kerry Washington Lets Perfect Be Imp ... 2026

Description

This striking black and white studio portrait features actor Kerry Washington captured for DEFINED Magazine by photographer Rachell Smith. The subject wears a black scalloped dress with cut-out details while a translucent, flowing white fabric is dramatically draped over and tightly obscuring her head and face, creating a sculptural and conceptual silhouette. Her hands are raised, gently touching the veiled head area in a poised gesture. The lighting is high-contrast and theatrical, casting deep shadows against a plain background and emphasizing the contours of her arms and shoulders. The monochrome aesthetic and surreal styling are enhanced by expert hair styling by Miles Jeffries, makeup by Allan Avendaño, and manicures by Sreynin Peng.
