Elle U.S. Sofia Coppola by Carin Backoff 2026

Description

This editorial portrait features filmmaker and creator Sofia Coppola standing in a residential hallway, captured in monochrome by photographer Carin Backoff for Elle U.S. She wears a patterned polka dot coat with her hands held near her collar in a candid pose. The composition is shot in a vertical format, emphasizing the narrow perspective of the indoor hallway background with light-colored walls. The lighting is direct and high-contrast, creating strong tonal graduation characteristic of location-based editorial photography. This feature was styled with hair by Orlando Pita, makeup by Dick Page, and manicures by Eri Handa.
