Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

A striking fashion portrait captured in Cape Town by photographer Pieter Hugo features an East Asian model standing against a neutral studio background. The subject wears an oversized dark brown leather belted trench coat over a cream-colored collared shirt, complemented by dark pointed-toe mules and dark lipstick. In a distinctive styling choice, the model holds a vintage grey landline telephone, with its coiled cord draped across the front of the coat and the receiver held in the left hand. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the glossy texture of the leather outerwear and creating a clean, editorial aesthetic.
