Description

This black and white editorial image from the project Of Mice and Men for System Magazine was photographed by David Sims. The composition captures a model with theatrical, high-contrast eye makeup and dark lipstick standing in a cluttered backstage setting. Reflected in a mirror, the subject wears a headband and distinctive strap across the shoulder, with feathered and beaded decorations hanging in the foreground. The lighting is direct and creates stark tonal contrasts, highlighting the model's form and expression against the garment racks behind. Fashion editing and styling by Benjamin Bruno, with makeup by Lucy Bridge and manicures by Alexandra Janowski.
