W Magazine Natural Selection 2025

About

This black-and-white fashion editorial portrait for W Magazine's project Natural Selection features model Noor Khan posing with a dried leaf in hand. The subject wears a dark, sleeveless belted dress and exhibits voluminous curly hair, captured with moody lighting featuring dappled light patterns across the background. On the left side of the frame, a textured tree trunk stands prominently in the foreground, creating a stark visual contrast with the studio backdrop. The photography was captured by Jamie Hawkesworth with fashion styling by Brian Molloy, hair by Gary Gill, and makeup by Lucia Pica.
