Maisie Lu, Set Designer,

Description

This editorial portrait for i-D Magazine's project The Last Laugh features a shirtless individual wearing an elaborate, voluminous blonde curly wig paired with theatrical face makeup and a thin mustache. The subject gazes directly forward while thrusting a rapier sword straight toward the camera lens in a dramatic, confrontational pose. The lighting is bright and clean, casting soft shadows against a plain grey backdrop. The image composition emphasizes the theatrical styling and the striking prop work.
