Kinfolk Tree Hugging 2025

Description

Captured by photographer Daria Kobayashi Ritch for Kinfolk, this editorial portrait from the Tree Hugging project features a young woman and an unshirted young man standing barefoot together against the thick, gnarled trunk of a large tree. The woman wears a light-toned sleeveless dress with draped fabric, while the man wears white trousers and an open dark jacket. Soft natural light filters down through the surrounding woodland canopy, casting gentle shadows across the leaf-strewn ground. Hair styling by Maranda Widlund complements the natural, outdoor aesthetic of the composition. The earthy color grading and organic surroundings emphasize the intimate, grounded mood of the series.
