Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This striking fashion editorial image from the project Spirited Away for Harper's Bazaar U.S. features model Awar Odhiang standing poised in a small wooden boat on a calm, misty waterway. Photographed by Pieter Hugo with fashion styling by Carlos Nazario and makeup by Michaela Bosch, the subject wears a minimalist white bikini top paired with a dramatic, textured white fringed skirt and a wide-brimmed sun hat, while holding a tall wooden paddle. The serene outdoor environment features lily pads with pink blossoms scattered across the dark water under an overcast sky, creating a moody and contemplative atmosphere. The muted, natural color palette emphasizes the textural interplay between the soft water surface, the woven wood of the boat, and the crisp white garments.
