Description

This striking editorial portrait for i-D Magazine's project 'The Last Laugh' was captured by photographer Charlie Engman, with fashion styling by Thom Bettridge, hair by Kabuto Okuzawa, makeup by Mical Klip, and set design by Maisie Lu. The image features a bald man wearing a white tank top with a sheer nude stocking pulled tightly over his head, distorting his facial features, nose, and lips. The composition is a tightly framed studio shot set against a neutral grey background with soft, even lighting that emphasizes the unusual texture of the stretched nylon. The styling and conceptual direction create a surreal and sculptural effect, highlighting experimental beauty and modern editorial photography.
