Paul Kooiker, London

Description

This black and white editorial portrait features Michele Lamy posed outdoors amid a field of tall dry stalks and withered vegetation. She wears an avant-garde, heavily padded garment with an enormous sculptural headpiece that frames her face and wraps securely around her neck. The grainy, high-contrast monochrome aesthetic creates a stark, atmospheric quality reminiscent of vintage film photography. Bold white typography reading 'DUST' appears prominently across the top of the frame. The lighting is diffused and overcast, casting subtle tones across the textured landscape and emphasizing the unusual volume of the costume.
