Anton Alexander, Hair Stylist,

Description

This black and white editorial portrait features model Carla Rey captured outdoors in an urban setting for the SCMP Style project Street Life. Photographed by Arseny Jabiev with styling by Aryeh Lappin, hair by Anton Alexander, and makeup by Akiko Owada, the image focuses on a tight profile shot of the subject. The model wears a dark printed button-up shirt with a distinctive patterned motif and a small hoop earring. Her hair is styled in a sleek, slicked-back wet look gathered at the nape. The background reveals an urban environment beneath an elevated structure, characterized by dappled daylight and deep, contrast-rich shadows. The composition uses a shallow depth of field to keep the sharp profile of the model in distinct focus against a softly blurred urban backdrop.
