Description

Captured by photographer Mark Borthwick for Purple Magazine, this editorial portrait features model Laura Ponte standing in a sunlit forest clearing. The subject wears a black bowler hat and a long black scarf draped over her shoulders, positioned in front of a rectangular white panel set amidst natural terrain and trees. The composition incorporates a distinctive vertical film-frame aesthetic with exposed sprocket holes along a stark white border on the left side. Natural daylight casts sharp shadows across the sandy ground, emphasizing the stark contrast between the minimal studio backdrop and the surrounding woodland.
